I would hold. The only people that get hurt on a roller coaster ride are the ones who get off the ride before it’s over… selling during a dip is tough. If the ONLY reason to sell is maintenance related… hold.

Batchleads is decent 

Invelo is decent so far… not sure they have texting yet 


text blasts are better if humanized 


Hey Nate! I'm glad to hear that you are giving Invelo a try and I would like to make sure you find great success with the tool. Please feel free to ask any questions!

Invelo is currently working on a direct API connection with CallRail and CallTools to allow for tele-communication. This integration will be available in 2023 and we will announce it's release when we get a bit closer to project completion.

For me brrrr is creative in that over time you get the right lenders who offer high loan to cost, so really not a ton of money out of pocket, and someone else pays it off for me - the next lender… and then, of course the tenant pays that off for me… to me it is simple but I suppose it is creative. Recommended to consider at least.

Not sure any are unlimited without cost but Batchleads, Propstream I’ve used and are decent. Invelo, trying to get to know now.

Asking price to sold price is 99% in my area - tons of price reductions but values are up YOY. I find YOY closed prices to be the most important to track… so often asking price is wishful thinking for sellers, especially now, and yes they are humbled there but not having to come down drastically.

The lease is attached to the property. 
whatever the terms were. Are now your terms. 

I agree I probably would require the tenants gone as a condition of purchase but you are likely past your inspection period. 

If that is the case. I would say, make sure you have a well defined plan to get them out after acquisition

Generally in my area, asking price is down and being adjusted. Asking price isn't equal to value. Sometimes asking price is aspirational. Sellers aren't able to demand a price anymore. If you're looking for opportunities looking past asking prices is big. Looking at ARV, looking at sold comps, and even looking at what the seller paid for it, gives a better perspective of value, and, in your specific need, opportunity.

Fun space. I’d probably prefer a place to myself splitting the bill with in-laws etc. Cool concept. Good luck!!

Quote from @Allan Smith:

I think you are misunderstanding what the rental and Brrr strategy is. This is for investment property, not for a house you live in which is a liability. I would definitely discourage a higher payment.

however, some people will get a line of credit on their house for short-term capital availability. You can purchase an investment and then go get some kind of bank loan after, and then pay back the line of credit.

Thanks Allan.Genuine question… How is my house a liability if I’m able to borrow against it to buy more rentals? Doesn’t that make it an asset? just wanting to understand why it’s different as a primary. I have no idea what interest rates on HELOCS are. I’m locked in at 5.65% right now on a conventional 30yr fixed. 
some more details that may or may not help:
Purchase price: $50k
rehab amount: $30k
interest amounts to $4k
total $84k

appraised value $200k
primary conventional fixed 30 yr. At 5.65%
if I borrow the full 80%, I will net approximately $62K after paying partner back with a monthly PITI $1330
if I borrow minimum (no cash out), monthly payment is $922 (which what we would like as a primary home) but then I’m stuck not being able to move onto the next deal for quite awhile. 
Any more thoughts?
There is a lot to consider here but I’d start with this. That extra 408/mo adds up to about 5k/yr. If you can use that 62k to make more than 5k/yr then you’ll be ahead, not counting labor. 

 I second what Larry said.
