@Paola AstridIf you’re considering refinancing an FHA loan, it’s a great way to lower monthly payments or gain more flexibility.

Buyers, sellers, and investors need to remain flexible, informed, and willing to explore creative options to find success.

I prefer small Strip malls or self storage.I need advice on how to find the deals, how to get lending on them and then how to set up the structure.I have flexibility to fly out next month is there are peers who can meet and help me out in their local markets.thanks,Paul 

Hi Kris, welcome to the Indiana market 🎉Your plan sounds very realistic, especially with the flexibility to pay cash.

Not sure what your time restrictions are but the fastest way to financial freedom and flexibility in real estate is creating a business out of it.

Some agents might offer flexibility, like a non-exclusive agreement, especially if you’re upfront about your plans to explore multiple opportunities.

Your lender should be able to help dispute the appraisal if there are clear inconsistencies or missing information, especially now that the property is rented and generating income.It might also be worth exploring other lending options, as some lenders have more flexibility with appraisals or different processes that could work better for your situation.

One thing that really helps is lining up flexible, short-term financing—like hard money loans or private lenders—who get your goals and can close quickly.

Long-term planning allows for steady growth, compounding returns, and the flexibility to adapt to economic and societal changes.

Flexibility in lease terms can be a big selling point.Hope this gives you a solid starting point!
