Do you hire a title company for all the properties you're interested in before the auction?

Do yourself a favor and find an expert on your particular system -- that might not necessarily mean one of the big name companies.

As a management company, we also have a duty to get a property occupied with a qualified resident as soon as possible and sometimes that means adjusting rents down for right now to generate revenue.  

Where another issue arrises is I recently quit my job after becoming pregnant as they would not cover my maternity while overseas, my husband is employed however he works for a UK company and is British so would be unlikely to help us with the situation in the US.

If he has a $5MM loan in place, what was that used for / is it coming due/ was it short term/ etc.?

Like I mentioned to Eliott, I'm very young and I can't get a loan.

I have a robust team of mortgage lenders, title companies and RE attorneys.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

Personally, I'd cash-out refinance into a 30 or 15 year loan.

Maintenance and potential repairs will also require a long-term financial plan and setting aside a contingency fund for such expenses.The steady cash flow, appreciation over time, and tax benefits can make a meaningful difference to your wealth in the long term, especially with the principal paydown on the mortgage.However, if managing the property from a distance feels too burdensome, or if you’d prefer the certainty and flexibility that comes with having less debt (especially given the high mortgage rates), selling and using the $100,000 in equity to reduce your loan for your next home may be the smarter move.
