Odds are your newer builds are on the outskirts of a city into the suburbs where people fight to get a property if it’s affordable.

The odds of that happening in 2025 are pretty slim.

When you own a couple of units, the odds of there being unexpected vacancies that overlap each other are usually low, but when you acquire more and more real estate, the odds of tenants moving out around similar times increases. 

Very odd to see a 19 year old kid In the real estate investing world i feel like, but the sooner the better.

Do you want your son to bet the financial outcome of his 20s on this seller's ability to make good choices? 

I find it odd that this isn't a more standardized practice.

If it's more complicated eviction.com may be your best bet to use they are pretty cost effective.

If not, hard money is probably your best bet

If the property is free & clear, your best bet is to find the use for the capital and just do a cashout refinance,HELOC's on investment are tricky, expensive and sincerely a headache.
