That leaves me with 2 houses, both rented but one of them needs to go too.All this is close to the end of a dead end street.

Currently rented for $1800/mo.

I am leaning toward removal because the floor is run down, the risk of increased pests or feral cats, and there is already a storage closet off the patio.

Finally, I used the Thumbtack app, and I made more progress in six days than I did in the past 75 days on painting, flooring, lighting install, HVAC repairs.I currently use apartments.com for my automatic rent collection, so that system is helpful. 

I have found that the "value add" opportunities, with rent increases, renovations, zoning conversions, and other work needed, absolutely do take up more of your time compared to a more turnkey property - even with third party management overseeing the process. 

We are currently building many investment Single Family Homes on independent lots that focus on maximizing rent.

The lot rent from the mobile home that will be on there will be roughly $400.

I'm done buying inflated NNN rents at 6-7% caps. 

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $14,000 I purchased and managed a rental property in Chicago, focusing on strategic improvements and tenant satisfaction to increase both its value and profitability.

I own a 4plex where I live in one and rent the other 3.
