Actually I am very interested in hearing what happened. IMO you were lucky to sell when you did right before the great bubble burst. The person who bought it from you is an idiot for paying triple what you paid just 3 years before. Whoever that was obviously did not do their research. @ Hiphopapotamus: I wonder what your property that you sold for triple is worth now in Nov 2011?

Good read.

A faster easier way to compute the estimated value of a rental is to take the monthly rent and multiply by 100 (It just involves less math).

The second step to realize, never sell rental real estate. Leave it to your kids and avoid the taxes.
