Most will have large scale marketing engines where they spend thousands or tens of thousands a month, and operate or license time in call centers.

Marketing Yourself Locally – Focus on word of mouth and local networking.

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

Along with our partnership with GS Courtyard Homes this is a thriving and growing community, located in an amazing market.

I agree that I am bullish on this taking the PHX market to the next level.

My condition was that they rent the house for 1% of the costs and sign a 3 year lease.

We are not familiar with any of these markets, nor do we have anyone trustworthy there, or a real estate agent.Our approach would be both rental and house flipping.

It would be a good idea to assess your tolerance to risk and then plan something like that, but using a heloc is going to be around 9-11% in this market so to pay something off with lower interest rate to borrow more might not make much sense.

It is still a seller's market in many geographic locations, so you can ask potential buyers for an extended closing period and/or with options to extend the closing period. 

Context: My wife is in real estate annd we anre in the Houston market.
