I’ll budge and “grudgingly” give up to 155 to let them win but I’m also completely okay with losing this deal. 

If something horrible happens (like your handy man who you have given the keys to all the properties rapes your female tenant (you didn't know he just got out of prison for rape) (no insurance coverage for you by the way because intentional torts are uninsurable) you will lose everything you own.

I have a hard time justifying losing the interest rates you could get pre-2022 so I would lean away from selling.

I was told by the bank that I couldn't do a 1031 because it's a primary residence, and 1031 are only for investments.But I also don't want to sell and lose 20-30% on taxes (lived in the house for 2 years)What's the best route?

Here in GA it is a cash sale at the courthouse steps.With all the guru's and TV shows pushing "flip this house" and " a million mistakes were made and we still made money " newbies feel like they can't lose trying their hand at this stuff.In the entry levels flips new investors are overbidding due to lack of experience, construction materials are rising in cost, and contractors are in big demand so they are gouging on what they charge.

Safe to say an issue when deals are not being found lol..For the price and guarantee what to lose, don't drag move, guarantee time goes fast.

@Robert WilliamIf he doesn’t want to lose his home he needs to file bankruptcyIf he wants the most money he then he should just sell it.These are two very different things

There is alot of gentrification going on but you can really lose out on an investment if you have someone untrustworthy helping you out.

If you have no assets then maybe you have nothing to lose but in time that will change.

I see a lot of investors tear a deal down to the studs when they just need a cosmetic rehab, and then they are underwater on the deal and aren't able to exit without losing a significant chunk of money.
