**Other Ways to Flip:**- If you decide not to refinance, you could consider partnering with a local real estate agent who specializes in investment properties to get more exposure.- You might also look into staging the property or taking high-quality photos to make it more appealing online.- Another option is to list it on multiple platforms, including local real estate groups and social media.
