Exactly if its a hot deal cash just means you beat out the next guy who needs financing does not mean deep discount .. at least in markets were RE is sought after.

I am going to wait until rates drop a decent amount and sell my former primary, which is now a rental, at a premium.

@Arman Ahmed that's pretty much how I was looking at it.

However, they are full of legal jargon most landlords/tenants can't understand and they miss a lot of things an experienced landlord would recommend.If you have a landlord association, join them and start with their product.

A good PM can save a mediocre investment.

But if you are thinking of offering as a buyer then we typically go with 10% down 10-Yr term at 5% interest.  

We are selling a property that has been freshly renovated.

I am super excited to start my real-estate investing journey and have heard great things about this site/community! 

I have also rented out a detached garage.

I was looking at realtor.com as another source to look for prospective tenants.
