I ask you - is it worth it to make the move, take the cut, leave the boat and jump into the sea with just a floatie in order to get more experience in the field and chase a dream? 

When interest rates went up, I was having to leave too much capital in deals in my target market, usually more than my acquisition outlay and rent-ready repairs.  

Smartlocks are expensive, I hate to have to switch them out each time a tenant leaves because they have an existing key.

I am thinking that if you are intending on wholesaling the property, then you do so "AS IS" leaving the buyer/investor to do there own DD.

Here is an article that I wrote for BP that will provide some more insight to this structure: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/the-traditional-llc-vs-the-series-llc-which-is-better-for-real-estate-investors/Also please feel free to Dm me or leave a reply if you have more questions.Podcast #109 here on BP will also give a nice high level overview.

Buying it, I pull the strings, flipping it, I did it all, and now selling it... it's been a process.... so I want out asap but being as careful as possible to make sure I learn and not leave anything loose. 

Along with constant moving.. many of these tenants at least in that market will simply move annually they know the landlords will bend over backwards for a 100% voucher so they just pack up the few things they have an move to a freshly renovated house and leave their old house behind..

$40k would go toward your down payment, say $10k to closing costs...that leaves you a pretty good amount.

It would let me finish that 12+ months sooner.relist option: it makes about 6% CoC but I am leaving a lot equity that I feel I should tap into.

Most people leave the same photos up all the time.
