As a general rule, I and many other REO agents don't advertise our listings as REO, bank owned, foreclosure or anything else that could potentially devalue our client's property.

you buy a property for $50,000 keep it 20 years and sell for $200,000, but to replace it with an identical house you have to spend the entire $200,000, what have you gained.Capital gains taxes to some degree as now structured is a tax on inflation which the investor had no control over, and a devaluation of the dollar purchasing power due to inflation..

I got everything I had out of the country just at the right time and now I'm only waiting for the next big crisis coming next year when the newly elected president takes office and starts implementing the measures necessary to rebuild the Argentinian economy; the first one will have to be devaluation. 

All the while, the home sits empty and continues to deteriorate and devalue.

Home owners do not like renters in their buildings mainly because they create issues and devalue a property.

If your rates are not at market you are devaluing your investment property, except in the case of SFHs which will resell at a higher rate if there is no tenant in place at time of sale. 

Your claims of any devaluation of the home may have a bigger impact on the result if it is a rental.  

If the seller did his taxes in a way to show little profit then he shot himself in the foot and devalued his property.   

I would not invest in SFHs, too expensive to maintain, too much work dealing with one tenant per property and tenants devalue a SFHs.

Money not being used is money that's devaluing because of inflation.
