At its core property management is simple though.

In America in 2024 and beyond, you will need money to fulfill simple needs, but I don't strive for the money, I strive for what it allows me to do. 

Any suggestions you have in that regard would be greatly appreciated. 

First of all, I suggest you search the forums as arbitrage has been discussed ad nauseam.

They can help assess the market value of the property, considering its condition, and suggest the best sales strategy.Direct to Investors or Wholesalers: While 'we buy ugly houses' companies often offer below-market rates (as they typically look for deeply discounted properties), reaching out to local real estate investors or wholesalers could be a worthwhile option.

If anyone has any advice or recommendations on how you would get started in real estate if you were in my shoes please let me know any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  

I suggest next time you make sure that you have enough money for a deal before proceeding forward. 

Sometimes even 7 or 8% lenders are had to find for 3 or 5 years much less for 15 or 30 years. exactlybut im sure its possible because people are doing it Possible yes, but there are a lot of complexities and moving pieces - this is generally the lending business model, not a simple "arbitrage" glitch or easy scheme..

I've been in this situation a billion times- honestly, the answer is very simple.

The solution was to suggest they renew for 9 months.
