If you are just looking for somebody to send you MLS listings for you to drive by, I'd ask a new, eager agent who has more time on her hands and give her a shot.

Update: as I was leaving the English Ranch neighborhood the other day I saw a car driving around that was the City of Fort Collins and had "CODE COMPLIANCE" written in big letters on the side.

I drive by one of my STR's on my way to work every morning. 

The four common factors to decide are whether your trust is revocable or irrevocable and whether your trust is a living trust or testamentary trust.

Time is a key factor, especially if you have a few deals that you are looking to close.

Not only is it in a gang area in Santa Ana (Hence, the $250K price), but once I left and it was a full rental, it's doubtful that it would drive more than $1,400.00 a month rent.

Sometimes it’s complicated by factors such as ;- Multiple family members own ( inherit) it and can’t agree on who should pay taxes , what it should sell for, etc. then there may be probate issues and possible Medicaid claims. - people who can’t or won’t pay taxes often have other financial issues that result in judgements against the property.

I know good school rating & job growth; is important but I'm driving around Atlanta (windy hill, Austell)and the school rating is not great, nor the neighborhoods but yet the prices have gone up from 80k to 280k.

that 100k will be our down payment for our next home which will place our next home's budget within the 350-400k sale price...the X factor is my wife is pregnant with our second child. 

We are sitting on 19 units right now and yes the headaches will drive some people out of the game.
