Also, are you prepared to pay for the mortgage without the roommate?

I also found a more experienced investor to partner with on this deal so it was a great way to learn and prepare myself for owning my own property.

Over the years I picked business degrees, real estate license, tax preparation training, loan officer licensing and training, investment / CFP training and it is all tied together in one big connected body of knowledge that emphasizes appreciation, debt pay down, cash flow, and tax write-offs...  

I know some funds that are liquidating single family to bid into CRE, there's also some funds that are divesting their real estate exposure and putting it more into other cyclical things(like oil & preparing for bitcoin) these are more macro funds not REI funds. 

I was told by my closer today that she cannot Quit Claim the Deed into an LLC, but said it would have to be a warranty deed because they cannot prepare as the under writers came down on title companies as it is seen as practicing law.  

You can hardball it, or just prepare for the inevitable.

I have no desire to quit or shift my focus any time soon but want to start preparing better for post-active working days.

Don't rush into deals, and remember, the Tampa market has a lot to offer if you're prepared and flexible.

The primary challenge was ensuring all logistics aligned for a same-day sale, but our preparation and experience ensured a smooth process.
