I find myself bored and not intimately interested with office properties.

- unfortunately March 15th is a Friday night and given that I am in Northern VA that I wouldn't be able to get there after work in time.

Also the house I just bought I paid $640k for and a smaller house a few doors down just sold for 1.3m, and two more down the street are selling for over a million so I'm assuming that in time I'll flip this one for at least half a million net profit.

If you find a buyer in time and collect your deposit you can use that money.

Any advice on how to find such a savvy CPA, intimately familiar w/ REI'ing, in my local (SF Bay) area?

Consider what you have invested in time and energy compared to the risks that the end investor is taking (they have to close, finance, fix up, resell, etc).John Corey

Thanks for taking me back in time @John Hickey

Taking out a mortgage COSTS EXTRA MONEY, slows down your ability to deal and IMO prevents me from doing deals MY WAY.BTW, my mortgages do have DOSs in them, and I'm always intimately aware of what's going on with my units.all cash

I started buying some local real estate, some commercial, mostly single family homes.I guess I got greedy and finally topped it off last year with an ocean front property at a great price.I now own 5 properties, most heavily mortgaged.I have been trying to sell the ocean front for the past several months and not getting any bites, have dropped the price by $400, 000, still no takers at $1.500,000.I have about $100,000 left in the bank, my monthly nut for all the properties and my overall expenses is around $26,000.My current income from rentals is about $5,000.I am going through a relationship split from hell, with my ex coming after 50% of the net worth, which of course is only on paper values.She has no legal standing on this as we are not married, but I feel the judge will make an emotional decision.My question is, should I file for bankruptcy, let some of the properties foreclose on the chance that something might sell in time to bring in enough income and/or just pay my own house and expenses, which would give me about 10 months time.Should I look for another investor to come in and fix up the ocean front as a vacation rental?

Priority in title is simply first in line, first in time.
