If the goal is to refinance within the next couple of years it could make sense. 

We only need 12 months of housing history and proof of rent payments.The DSCR market has evolved a great deal over the past couple of years, which has opened up access to more investors. 

I have a couple good options for you.

Looking to buy / invest in the Maryland/DC/Virginia area, within 40 minutes of DC, within the next couple of years.Looking to buy first home in next 1-2 years.

I'm doing this because then I can cashflow the renovation without having to take out reno loans, it takes a bit longer because projects get done as I have the money to do them but for me I prefer to be a bit more risk adverse and have less debt. 

I would prefer some a group of nice tenants getting some sort of government support.

Do not wait for the 30 days.A couple of options to raise money: If you receive at any given time a return during tax season.

I’ve taken a couple of days to navigate around, and I think it’s about time I write my first post with one of the questions I have in mind.I have zero experience in the rental property business, but I am eager to learn.

If you can hold on till first part of January the showings and everything else should pickup.This would be my action items: 1. hire a new agent that can sell the place, and get you numbers are rent and selling and sell the place. 2. be honest on the numbers you can get on an ARV so that you can sell it 3. start to get the conversation started with a couple lenders on what these numbers on refi would look like for you and this property 4. my suggestion would be to refi/rent before selling at a loss because if numbers work you can hold for a couple years then sell, but this is dependent on your cash position and liquidity of your situation. 

Obviously the net number is what's most important to sellers typically but I have found escaltion clauses and offering free rent backs to the seller are just a couple of ways to make your offer stand out.
