It is a little lower than I expected but I will be able to sell these off, however, it may be at a loss and is less than what I had mortgaged on these houses so I would probably need to come up with cash at closing, which is not ideal.

Welcome to BP, I'm sure you'll connect and learn alot from like-minded individuals here.Which investing strategies are you interested?

These strategies allow individuals to invest in real estate with minimal down payment, gain exposure to the industry, and build capital.Good luck!

Use 20% to calculate individual performance  

For investors seeking stability, flexibility, and reduced seasonal impact, these states are ideal.

If you can find one with 2 bathrooms that is ideal.
