The number one comment from all potential buyers was the design.

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

No if potential buyer have given you emd than you are under the assumption this is a serious buyer and will close on the deal but he has only a certain amount of time with his inspection period so if he backs out you still have time to fund another buyer. 

If you need some connections, I run the most active group of small landlords in the city and have a network of connections that you could potentially leverage.

I recently read in Forbes that investing near growing transit hubs can offer great appreciation potential.

I like targeting outside of where I would live for SF and small MF (1-4 units) because of the lower entry price, usually higher cash flow since your rental income is higher relative to your debt service, and your appreciation potential is high if you can read the writing on the wall.

You can still easily find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

Starting your real estate journey with a house hack in Austin is a smart move, especially with its strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

For example, here in Columbus Ohio, you have amazing macros (population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here like Intel headquarters, Amazon, FB, Google, Nationwide, and recently Anduril AND you can still find positive cash flow and the 1% rule here PLUS there's AMAZING appreciation potential.2.

I’m thinking about selling it but wanted to hear your perspective, especially since the interest rate is so low at 4.75% & I don’t necessarily like the idea of selling an investment property but know my money could potentially be better elsewhere.
