You can probably hold out for the right renter but you might be waiting a couple months. 

Some rentals just aren’t worth the hassle to hold on to.

In either case there is either no loan to purchase or a short term loan that could not be used to hold the property long term.

If this is for a SFH and you have owned it for a few years then you can probably get a hold put on the tax increase for a few more years.

One buddy of mine split his time between local flips in Greensboro and buy-and-hold single-families in Memphis.

I like your idea of instantly pinging a human and holding on a AI response when keywords “stars” or “review” are written.

If you believe it will continue to appreciate (like most of San Antonio), I would hold on to it even if there's a bit of negative cashflow for the first year or two. 

If you're investing in real estate, ask yourself can you hold this a minimum of 8 years, ideally 12, optimally north of 20?

This is primarily why I plan to get a property in Old Town Alexandria whenever I can (THE HOMES HERE ARE EXPENSIVE) currently I do airbnb arbritage here and it does phenomenal, I read through your report which furthered my confidence in this area, and I'm excited to keep holding onto property here.

Nuff said.Being a Credit Literacy advocate among other things, I don't hold with much of what Dave Ramsey preaches.
