We just executed a lease for another 6 months, but I am ready, and have been for some time, to sell and capture the equity locked up in this property.Do any investors have advice, or alternative strategies to consider for this situation?

Change the locks immediately. 

We have taken care of engineers and permits.Assume that there is reasonable access from the rear of the property - and these are all attached row homes.If anyone has recommendations for a good subcontractor we are all ears.  

UT prices have locked me out a bit, but I probably just need to find more creative deals.

There are currently 23 states (as of last count a couple of weeks ago) that enforce this law.I know this because we just locked up 2,500 SFR's in your state (in Orlando, to be specific) that are past the redemption period (bank did not pay delinquent HOA dues), and the same law group that won the case in Nevada in front of Supreme Court (see link below) is handling the conversion into Warranty Deeds.

Then, if you want to get into flips in the future, you'll be locked and loaded.I find wholesaling a rather dark practice and of questionable ethics, mainly because most wholesalers don't properly disclose what they are in fact, doing. 

Both properties are locked in at 3% so refinance would not work. 

Keep your eyes and ears open. 

I was going to continue living with my parents until the renovations were completed.I hired contractor 4, put a lock box on the property and starting purchasing materials and placing them in the garage for the contractor to get started.

I feel I should lock in my funding and then go looking for the deal.
