If my emphasis was on CASH, I would have just accepted the cash sale.

Now what will you do when you lose money on a flip ? 

Are you getting bites who lose interest at the application step?

I've talked to many clients and investors who consistently lose over 10K per year on MN Cabin STRs.

And, you will learn a whole lot without losing money.

I can understand your concern of not wanting to lose your tenant due to a rent increase.

Markets vary, but buying a home and selling it in 2-3 years, you may end up losing money once you add in all of the extra costs.

Now we have all sorts of fake lenders trolling SM sites promising the moon telling folks what they want to hear and scamming them out of small and Big dollars some of these folks lose 10s of thousands to these folks.. with the  line  " Hey its going to fund next week just need another 5k for some BS item"

So glad I didn't lose her bc honestly she has been a great tenant for past 3 years.

If it breaks when someone is in there, what is the rental income you would lose and how long would it take?
