I am finding duplexes and single family homes for under $60,000 that I believe would provide a 20%+ cash on cash return and a couple hundred bucks minimum cash flow each month. 

The outside looked decent (other than a couple broken windows and hole in the roof) but the inside was destroyed right down and including studs and rafters/trusses.

In Seattle over the next two years you have Facebook doubling their Seattle area head count, Microsoft is opening their new bigger campus, Amazon has a couple more office buildings that will be completed and Google is taking over additional office space....along with a bunch of smaller growing companies continuing to expand and bring in high paid talent.I would do anything I could to not sell the Seattle property.

He is out of state and currently owes a couple of years worth of back taxes.  

For example I see a couple of houses in my hometown Dyersburg, Tn that are up for sale which to me signals some kind of motivation to sell.

I'm in Atlanta, GA, and plan to live here for the next couple of years or so.  

However, if this is simply a case of spending a little less on personal lifestyle choices now during a cash poor period while you complete a couple of rehabs, I say absorb the lifestyle pain now and enjoy the profits down the line. 

I would use that money to invest somewhere most likely a couple single family or a duplex.

Hi, a couple of weeks ago I learned, from an answer to a question I posted on BP, that I can't 1031exchange earnings from the sales of mortgage notes.

Which in the beginning when we had just a couple rentals was fine when a tenant would come in and pay rent but now it's too much and our employees don't like dealing with it and my husband doesn't like some of the people coming in.
