I still have yet to get my feet wet in the RE investing "game" but am eager to do so.

@Joel Owens I think you're overlooking the fact rent control helps landlords who know how to game the system.

Must of been from all those 6 am hockey games I had as a kid...haha-Emerald

What happens to the contract if you don't have another buyer to bring to the table.

The game changer is that it appraised for $180K and we all know that there are actually 3 certainties in life; death, taxes and that eventually, ALL real estate must change hands.

Consider playing it safe if you are new to the game. 

I would say just look into your game plan.Whether to keep it as a rental or not would depends if its a cash-flowing asset.

If going this route, it's mostly a numbers game.

CL was the only real game in town for a long time, but the usability has always been pretty crappy (the previously-mentioned flood of listings for a single apartment, lack of ability to search in more specific areas, etc.) 

It is a numbers game and you have to play it often to find that one deal out of 50 that will be an equity packed transaction.You need to find an agent that can trust that you are not just using them.
