Depending on your living arrangements, if you can find an inexpensive duplex where you could live in one unit and rent out the other, you'd be well on your way to smoothing out some tax bumps (and minimizing your living costs).

The equity from the sale will be used to purchase the RV outright so our "housing" costs will be minimized after the transition so that's a good thing.

It'll give you the name of the owner and their address, if it's out of town or state, that should be an indicator that the property you are looking at is a rental. 

I don't know this street specifically, so I can't speak on the neighborhood, but the price point indicates it may be on the lower side because of the class of neighborhood it's in.

Or, you can ask them to move/evict and try to minimize damages by removing the cause.

It is nice that the place was built in 2016 so repairs should be minimal.

They are your eyes on the ground there and are key to making sure your tenants are good and qualified (to minimize evictions) and happy (so they stay and you have less turnover).  

Indicating that everyone profits from knowledge of other peoples ideas.

If you go on Zillow or the MLS and notice that there haven't been any sales within the past 12 months, this is a huge red flag and indicator that you should pass on the home.

My question is if a seller just bought a property a year ago in late 2016 and is now selling it in 2017 is that an indication that it's a bad deal?
