Building cost has almost doubled in the last 4 years taking B and definitely C markets out of the picture for new builds.  

$7,000 is a reasonable rate for a good job with quality paint that will last 7+ years.

I had lots of trouble last year with my local CPA as they were not aware of the many things that could be written off and had no further tax advice for me  I have a great CPA in Orlando!

How long ago did you sell it?

This occurred long before automated advance electronic payments.Interestingly, I never rented to nuns before, I learned that this nunnery doesn't issue paychecks, as the convent provide jobs, housing as well as food at the convent.

Last month, we predicted that the growth in pending listings would slow, and this materialized in May.

If it is on the market for that long with decent marketing as you have, it is overpriced. 

The core 4 is David Greene’s long-distance investing strategy and consists of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender.

Great for house-hacking, multi-family investing, long-term holds, and BRRRR's if you're local and able to manage contractors. 

For example, I often see Buyers purchase property thinking there is a $1,000 deposit but then the tenant claims it was $2,000 because they paid the last month's rent.
