I made the mistake of remodeling it when i should have sold it to a flipper, could not attract an applicant that had no animals, finally listed it and now have an offer which i hope will close mid july.

How do I comp a duplex in an area that has had no duplex sales in the last year? 

This was in the summer, so I had no issues letting them go because I knew I could rent it out quickly, and I did.

Distress does NOT equal motivation.My best deals came from people THAT HAD NO ISSUES!!!

We have 6 doors which have pets in them right now (which we have held between 2-7 years) and so far have had no noticeable pet damage.

The replacement tenant defaulted after a few months, too.While the original tenant may have been well-vetted - maybe - the subsequent one had no business getting into the suburban A class property, given that she made less than 2x the rent, according to the application I received subsequent to letting REI (then the name of AWB’s PM arm) go.

After much discussion Capt P agreed I was certainly due a refund since they sold something they had no legal right to sell.

If you had no money in the deal at all then its easier to walk away when things get hard.

I have watched people get all excited bidding on a sale, they had no clue they just bought a 2nd position lender's position.There are also possibilities of Mechanic's liens, tax liens, etc.

The harder they are to find the better or someone would have found them before me, but most quit looking very quickly, I have had a few that had no idea they even owned property and were about to lose it at the upcoming property tax sale.
