I hear the success stories about people retiring at 40 traveling the world sipping margaritas enjoying life.

A google search was all I needed.

It needs some things and I'm actually enjoying some of the DIY parts, though long term I intend to get reconnected to the trades and hire all work out.  

Seeing the neighborhoods on Google Map and the properties in pictures and even in videos is nothing compare to seeing them in person.

Ive kept all of our conversations VIA email, and have a google street view image of the parking lot being installed with their sign on the property!

@Yusuf K.For starters look Google CBRE 2018 1H US cap rates.. there should be a category for retail.. the bigger the brand the closer it deserves to be to that market cap rate..

I've checked the area via Google maps and trulia but would love to hear from someone who lives or invests there.

That gets me to my catch 22.My wife and I are hoping to get into VRBO world so we can enjoy and make more cash flow than we are currently making, but I'm wondering if we should put that off 18 months, rent out the property again and then reconvene at a better time or suck it up, lose a few thousand off the asking price and get moving on our goals...Financials - We owe 143,000 on the house (refinanced to conventional from FHA right after the seasoning period), it rents for $1850, mortgage, taxes insurance, HOA is $956, we just sunk $11,000 into carpet, paint, landscaping, replaced a vanity to get it ready to sell and I fear renting we might have to redo a couple of those things. 

We have the Tenants on direct deposit using google pay (highly recommend) and also have direct deposit for our insurance payments to the bank. 

I just start on google and follow the trail.
