Hey Mo, 

I'm in the Austin and Killeen markets. I own a Matterport camera and create virtual twin spaces of properties. These twin spaces allow you to walk a property virtually, and even take measurements of rooms and surfaces.They are useful for collaborating with contractors, and getting multiple estimates on a project. I'm also a real estate agent. If you have a project in my area that you are working on from out of state, I believe my services would be a great benefit to you. I would be willing to add my neighborhood insights along with the virtual twin space at no additional fee. I think this would essentially accomplish what you are trying to do. 

If you have a remodel project planned in the Austin or Killeen area, I have services available to help save you time and money. I create virtual twin spaces using a Matterport Pro. These spaces allow people to walk a property virutally and take measurements with a 99.9% accuracy. You can send these spaces to multiple contractors at a time for estimates. If your favorite contractor or designer has the tools available you may even be able to collaborate with them on your virtual twin space to see what the finished product will look like.

Hey @Jose Guerrero I am an agent with eXp Realty, but I also collaborate with other investors.

Hey @Christian Mattila right now I am primarily focusing on single family however, I do come accross duplexes and quads in these markets, as well as the occasional mobile home with land. 

Thank you for reaching out @Jordan Moorhead. I checked out your profile and see that in addition to being an active (and I'm pretty sure awesome) agent, you also do some personal deals yourself. I will be sure to add you to my list and send any deals I find that I think might be of interest to you or your clients.

Hello, 

I am starting to come accross some great deals and would like to grow my cash buyer's list. I would preffer to present my deals to buyers that are actively closing anywhere from 5-20 deals per month. Please reach out if you are interested in purchasing properties in the Austin and Killeen areas. 

Hey @Josh Stout 

The owner has an interest rate of less then 3% and they are asking for a 20% down payment before allowing their loan to be assumed. The property is located in the North Austin area. The owner has already agreed to cover a buyer's agent fee, therefore, I am willing to share the details about this gem with an investor/ potential buyer that is willing to sign my buyer's representation agreement which will only be used to cover this specific deal. If you are still interested in learning more please let me know. I would love the opportunity to be of service. 

Hello Bigger Pockets Community, 

While searching for some MLS gems I came across a property listed that has an assumable loan with a very low interest rate in the Austin area. If this is your strategy and area of interest please reach out for more information.

I spoke to a few lenders and was able to find a couple of people that provided a possibility to keep my property. However, in the end I decided it would be better to sell it, pay down all my debts, and start a new with the things I have learned thus far. It was difficult to come to this decision because it was my first home purchase, both as a homeowner and as an agent so there was some emotional attachment. I purchased it about 5 years ago, and have learned a lot since then. Next time around I will be in a better financial position and armed with more knowledge and experience to purchase at better numbers. 

Thank you so much to everyone who replied and connected with me. I appreciate your advice and feedback and am grateful for the valuable resources this community provides. 

Hey @Doug Spence

Thank you for your response. I started the LLC with the intention of growing a portfolio of rental properties with mid-term leasing options. Since that is what I would like to do with this property it just made sense to me to move it over to my LLC. Although I am still learning so I am open to advice on that matter.

The $60k debt is for updates done to the home to get it ready for the market. I am able to pay the company that did the work at closing, however if I do not sell then I still have to pay them. 

I hear what you are saying about high interest rates. Unfortunately renting it out without tapping into the equity is not an option for me. If it was I would not be trying to sell it or look for creative options to try to keep it.
