Now, I know the general sentiment around here about Renatus so I'll try not to go there.

General sentiment of the BP community is that these paid coaches are a waste of money.

@Todd Tyler, I agree with the general sentiment of finding a local realtor.

More importantly, I knew the building and had a sense for the condo board, reserves and the overall sentiment towards rentals.

The only problem is that it is a family home for 3 generations, so it has sentimental value to me.I wonder what anyone recommends in terms of assessing whether to rehab it or 1031 exchange?

when you have more money chasing too few deals values rise.as you get the ( I don't want to be left out sentiment.)

Yes I see that real estate investment sentiment is at its top ...there are many passive investors who would like to put money to these projects based on projections  and finding money is the easy part now.I am  how ever  not  convinced on the part that a sponsor group which probably has not seen a contraction (downturn) in market and they are buying too much too soon .

Try to break away from any sentimental attachment you may have to this property, owning rentals is a business, a business can not survive with no income.

I agree with the general sentiments here: 1) some tenants won't pay to fix that little thing that will end up costing you way more than their security deposit (and thus causing a lot of headache for you to sort out) and 2) I think it gets really difficult to define what is their responsibility and what was deferred maintenance on your end.

Public sentiment should drive the campaign a long way.Might be able to even get GRANT money - - anyone with grant experience???
