Happy to sign NDA you can reach me at...."

Well for only $200 more you could have bought her a Red Convertible Porsche 911.$120k to a school.$7k to an insurance outfit.Hopefully she gets more  benefit out of this major purchase than the many others who have not.Just my 2 cents.

High Maintenance Costs: Escalating maintenance costs can erode your profit margins.Change in Neighborhood Dynamics: Shifts in the neighborhood that negatively affect your property’s value are a red flag.Better Investment Opportunities: Selling might be wise if you've identified a more lucrative investment opportunity.Cash Flow Necessities: If you need liquidity, selling a property can provide a significant cash inflow.Tax Implications: Sometimes, selling can be advantageous for tax reasons, especially if you can benefit from capital gains tax laws.Personal Financial Changes: Changes in your personal financial situation may necessitate liquidating assets.Retirement Planning: Selling investment properties can be part of transitioning into retirement.Portfolio Diversification: Selling might be necessary to avoid overconcentration in real estate.Legal or Regulatory Changes: New laws or regulations can impact the attractiveness of holding onto a property.Ownership Challenges: If the burden of ownership outweighs the benefits, it may be time to sell.Real Estate Market Trends: Anticipating a downturn in the market can be a reason to sell early.Interest Rates: Rising interest rates can reduce the pool of potential buyers and lower property values.Property Value Appreciation: If your property has appreciated significantly, taking profits might be smart.Lifestyle Changes: Sometimes, personal life changes dictate a shift in investment strategies.ConclusionDeciding to sell an investment property is a complex decision influenced by market conditions, personal circumstances, and future investment goals.

With respect to that, don't forget that, generally speaking, you pay by the amount of sq ft but rent by the amount of bedrooms.Given that the market has been red hot, the risk is that you (wildly) overpay if you buy the wrong property.

It would definitely raise red flags if you did this multiple times.

I think you equally partially answered that question, telling the difficulties you are facing with STR regulations.this is my prescription and what I have decided to do .consider HELOC your current property, use the money to 1- add some value to your current home if room provide ( not to exceed X $ amount) you can then rent out the extra created meat to help pay HELOC2- Use the balance of HELOC to purchase another home in an appreciating market and if possible one that allows STR. use cash flow from new property still towards HELOC and just allow second home appreciate OR if you can fine a fixer upper to do BRRRR tat will even be better.that is what I have resolved to to. you can get back to me at 301-256-1578 so we can continue to brainstorm.little cent

Hi @River Sava, I live in coastal southern California so it is near impossible to get something for under 800k any where near me at this point.

if you are trying to sell the property to a Fix and Flipper, there is no deal, as there is no meat to make a profit, now if you are selling the property to a landlord, you have to run your numbers to see if they can cash flow.Otherwise, use your time wisely and find another deal

See any red flags, especially with today's interest rates.By the way....I'm in the fishing tackle and fishing guide world so this is a slam dunk from an operations standpoint.

So things that are a red flag for me may be fine for someone who's more aggressive.
