Sadly people think they can generate leads out of thin air, meaning the person they called wouldn't have realized they wanted to sell their home had not the wholesaler or investor hit them up to ask if they would be willing to.

Thanks Chad, theres something in the air and it seems to be blowing in all directions.

Affordability is an issue right now, but if/when rates go down later this year, that'll put upward pressure on prices.

It's because THIS property has a pressure distribution septic system.

@Lynette guy I have been trying to contact Evolve as we are renting a place through them for Christmas as tenants (not hosts/owners) and they have not responded any of our communications via air BnB platform.

If you're at a loss and paying off the shortage still puts you at a loss I think your best bet is selling, or seeing how you can get more income from current rents by making it mid term/seasonal or an air bnb. 

Having said this I want to emphasise that we never felt pressured into committing our money earlier, or above a limit that we felt comfortable with.

You have to kind of buy as the momentum is driving it that way but not at the peak of it, weather the mark to market volatility that comes with it, manage the physical risk that comes with, and reap the blow out rewards that eventually will come if you bought in the right areas.If debt is cheap it makes sense spread the risk around cause your floor is a lot lower, if debt is expensive it makes more sense to own it and and actually qualify your risk in areas that demand is still high, and supply is getting constrained and force more pressure on it. 

I’m active duty Air Force with three VA loans.

Cheap quick and easy: trim trees, mulch around base of trees (mulch is $2/bag at lowes right now), remove window bars, pressure wash, add some landscaping to front flowerbeds (I typically do rocks w/ flowering plants, lots of people do mulch there too) and remove the bushes, and possibly add some landscape blocks around the front flowerbed areasIs this a flip or a rental?
