The adjusted basis for the relinquished property becomes the tax basis for the replacement property AND the relinquished property depreciation schedule continues for the replacement property until the depreciation basis is exhausted.  

I'm in the same boat and usually pay a little more than an average investor so it's less of a chance to come back.

Its alot easier to foreclose on an LLC than an individual.

The nice thing about these vs. window units is you can pull the exhaust tubes out of the window each night an secure the property.Also I would suggest adding a fake or real camera system with sign.  

., I've contacted a few of the smaller banks in my area but haven't exhausted them all.

Otherwise any answer would be nothing more than an assumption...which is another word for a "guess". 

I've seen new incoming building inspectors revisit multi units just sold for nothing more than an exercise in justifying their existence.

I have heard the horrible stories about how long and exhausting negotiating a short sale property can be.

@Luke WongAppreciating rent over the years, good comps, bedroom and bathroom counts in each unit (you could possibly have a room mate in the unit you reside in for additional cashflow) proximity to public transportation (this might be less attractive due to Covid-19 though) cosmetic problems are good because that can lower sell prices while still being easy fixes and hardwood floors to reduce cleaning expenditures.Sorry this list isn't exhaustive, there's definitely more factors to look at.
