It might be more a matter of fine-tuning your listing than just a shift in the overall market.

Then if/when another good deal comes up, you can approach a lender and look at leveraging either of the properties in order to fund the down payment of the new property.

I don't necessarily mind that they are making a profit off of me; in fact, I expect it.

To be clear, you are not paying off the 80K mortgage.

Rates are going to start to fall in or aroud May/June of this year so by the time you have purchase the nest home you can do a "Rate & Term" refiance and lower the rate on the first home. 

Finding great off-market deals can feel like a needle-in-a-haystack challenge.

All the best to you!

How long do you intend to keep the property? 

You can look into the fix and flip route.

@Alvin Sylvain I agree the emotional support animals are B.S. but they are legal and we have to abide by the law.If the animal is an ESA, you are allowed to ask if the person is disabled and what service the animal provides.
