I’m actually from Golden, own property there, and know the market pretty well.

Don't get me wrong, there are still some good people offering good free advice but it gets harder and harder to come back and look for meaningful posts because you have to wade through so much garbage to find any nuggets of gold. 

I know there are some golden nuggets out there that would shape my future in ways I never thought possible. 

The Golden Rule Applies: The best way to handle this is to treat them exactly how you would want to be treated if you were in their shoes.

As long as you mean “net selling price” not “cash” received when you say “proceeds”, you should be golden.

Multitudes of people on BP looking to become rich on real estate by "wholesaling" or "rental arbitrage", essentially folks with no money or assets looking to punch their golden ticket.

Another Nugget again from Micheal Hernandez one of the famous real Estate Broker in Ca !!!

Track patterns, not one-offs .Maintenance triageLife-safety and habitability = immediate.Nuisance items batched into one visit to save trip fees; set boundaries for light bulbs, loose handles, squeaky doors .HVAC filters and tune-ups on cadence with photo proof; replace only when failure or at turn unless risk dictates .Turn standardScope template: paint touch-up, flooring repair, caulk, deep clean, locks rekey, curb appeal.Do big upgrades at vacancy, not with tenants in place, unless safety or leakage forces it .PM accountabilityExpectations doc: response times, approval limits, photo receipts, monthly owner update.Calendar check-ins: delinquency on the 6th, vacancy every Friday, turns twice weekly until listed .Biggest time sinks and how to cut themBack-and-forth on minor work orders: batch and set thresholds; teach PM what’s urgent vs optional .Chasing updates: standardize touchpoints and require proof-in-photos for work done .Overpricing vacancies: use ranges, listen to PM’s on-the-ground read, and choose speed over squeezing the last bit on your first units .Quick wins when inquiries slowPhoto order: lead with the best exterior at golden hour, then kitchen, bath, best room.Price bracket tweak: drop to just under a common search filter and add a move-in credit line in the first sentence.First 5 photos tell the whole story: light, clean, and your three sell points up front.Your next movePick one property.

Combine that with people choosing a market just because it's cheap (somehow over-looking the golden rule of "you get what you pay for"), and you can begin to see why the failure rate of OOS investors is so high. 

Quote from @Sid Verma: There are great nuggets on this thread, and I would seconded the remarks about 90% of the requests that think they are emergency are not emergencies.
