Texas investor selling ALL her rental properties
A friend of mine who is a realtor contacted a FSBO property and turns out the owner also owns about 40 properties in all and is selling EVERYTHING in her portfolio.
Most have tenants. Some do not. Her asking prices fluctuate between $88,000-210,000. All are in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area.
Experienced investors, could this mean:
1. She knows the market has begun to turn and wants to cash out before the crash?
2. It would be best for me to wait to buy investment properties until AFTER prices go down and the market re-adjusts?
Am I overthinking this whole thing or is this really a great opportunity to acquire some properties already cash flowing??

@Matthew Cretzman I'd ask your Realtor to ask the motivation for selling. I just listened to the BP Podcast #239 this morning and Austin Freuchting actually acquired something like 80 properties from a landlord in a similar situation and they were simply retiring and wanting to cash out. Could be a good opportunity!
