We have great relationship with the partner and would be open to long term hold together if that’s our last resort.

@Curtis Baker like most other places, southern nh has seen significant appreciation in the last few years, with not much sign of slowing down. 

When my health insurance became $1200/month I got a job as a direct support staff at a group home on 3rd shift which has lasted about 15 years and has always allowed me to have many hours per shift to myself to focus on my real estate and learning things.

This may not be an increase on a national level, and I expect this to occur first and more blue collar areas and those areas that had seen significant growth over last three years.Will we have another 2008, I do not think so.

In one market I am in I have a website setup via channel manager about 18 months ago and have no clue on SEO and only made about 12 Facebook posts in the last year BUT 42% of my bookings for all 3 properties came from my website. 

Or lastly how to go about raising the current tenants rent as I take over ownership of the property or maybe some type of vacancy clause before taking ownership.

My last purchase should have appraised closer to $140-145K, yet was $130K.

I agree with a lot of the advice above, but it is important to develop a professional relationship that lasts so the mutual benefits can continue.

I thought this was the issue last year.
