We aren't a skip tracing company, but I got tired of outsourcing skip tracing because everything was expensive.

And from then on, all the buyers coming to see the house are new, tire kickers, feeling it out, etc.So his point was get that thing sold right away.

For example, I do not show or send properties to anyone without first seeing a POF(keeps out the tire kickers).

city of Portlandia did this with the Pearl district 10 year tax abatements.. started about 2005. there are probably 10 thousand new condos units built over that time through multiple glass buildings.. numerous resturants and shops etc.. totally transformed the area.now Portlandias version of crappy Ghetto is nothing like what you see out east.. just more like tired run down..

On the flip side of the same inventory, I've been told that there are some great opportunities in converting some of these tired small hotels/motels into rental units using seller carry and Opportunity Zone financing.

I am tired of being "sold".  

Real tired of getting quoted 4x my purchase prices in replacement costs :(

I am just tired of saving my money & not doing any investing with it. 

At this point I am more so kicking the tires on other opportunities and considering my backyard in running STRs successfully getting into a hotel seems the obvious next step in this phase for me but as you mention there are many things for me to consider and learn in moving asset classes.

A suggestion might be to narrow your search by how long they have owned the property. if the property has been fully depreciated, it might be time to get rid of it and move on to the next. or the owner has gotten tired or "aged out" of the desire to hold it.
