When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

These estimated costs should then be reconciled back to actual costs or the purchase price.Have you had a cost segregation study performed?

Hey Cameron, for experienced investors I can lend up to 100% of the purchase and rehab costs on 1-4 unit properties.

Was previously purchased with a Builder to erect a SFR residence on.

The substitute of collateral was more of a scenario where you sold for $155K, and instead of paying off the $88K loan in your scenario, those funds stayed at the title company and were used on a cash purchase happening nearby in date. 

I'm looking at monthly cost to seller vs. anticipated rental income, purchase price relevant to the ARV of the area and interest rate, balloon, etc.

If you can show that the numbers work, you can get 100% of the purchase and rehab covered.The key is finding lenders who work with new investors.2.Partnering with Experienced Investors– If you don’t have capital, you can offer your time, effort, and hustle in exchange for a piece of the deal.
