We used to get a large amount of traffic with Craigslist, but over the years we've seen a shift to the Facebook Marketplace. 

They will tell you what they are planning and its a bad idea to try to fight them... shift instead. 

The house is in area with known soil shifting and foundation problems.  

With simple crew room marketing and solid demand you can shift the business online and I think that would work towards your end goal.

They are a pretty big company so I understand the shift.

Rental Property Investor from Jacksonville, FLPREVIOUS POSTWhy I sold Cleveland.If you're a real estate podcast junkie like me, you definitely have noticed the clear shift towards real estate syndication in the multi-family space over the last couple of years especially.As deals became harder to find in single family and smaller multis across much of the desirable markets,the allure of pooling investor funds to acquire larger assets became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.Books that were mostly hurriedly written flooded the market pimping the upsides of this strategy.The argument for was simple and convincing:it is better to own 1% of a large deal than 0% of no deal.Personally,I could not help but notice that the popularity of the idea coincided with the rise of real estate crowdfunding.The likes of Realty Shares and Realty Mogul raised a bajillion dollars practically overnight making it very easy for everyday real estate aficionados to own small bites of a mega deal in rural Tennessee at the click of a mouse.A few of my friends experimented with the crowd-funding route, tossing $5000 into this debt offer and $10,000 into that equity offering.These punts yielded mixed results anecdotally, as an equal number seemed to have great experiences to share as did absolute nightmares.To be fair, no real estate niche is 100% fail-safe or iron clad.Money has been lost in a large single family portfolio as well as a personally purchased medium sized apartment complex.It is also certainly true that in the end, every investor will run out of money to invest in more properties if they decide to go it alone trying to rapidly scale up their portfolio, and real estate is most assuredly a team sport at all levels.

This is a shift away from residential and will have a new set of risks, but if you educate yourself on this space, then it could be a path to cash flow, with much less personal involvement.

The biggest issue is when they don't work the same shifts.

The numbers "worked" (to some degree" but I just didn't like the idea of spending $200,000+ on a home to cash flow $100/mo.I ended up shifting my focus to Detroit proper where the numbers looked better on paper.

In my mind, you're simply shifting around when they get those bonuses and why.
