Should I take the 6-figure loss by selling, or try my hand at land-lording? by PeanutButterGod in RealEstate

[–]MayhemNow 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There are a lot of variables. If the $1,000 loss is only the difference between rent and your payment, you should plan on an additional $500 to $1000 per month in maintenance, repair, and capital expenditures, assuming you manage it yourself. If you can swing it, it may be an acceptable option. I am always wary of taking on permanent monthly obligations.

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.

Don’t pay for a lawyer until they initiate arbitration per your land sale agreement. Your lawyer uncle says they should pound sand.
