At the end of the day, losing $10k is really not a lot in the grand scheme of real estate investing, and given the seeming high volatility of this market ($275k to $220k, presumably in a matter of months), and the generally high monthly cost of HML, I would get out quickly and think of the loss as the cost of education.At least in my area (Cincinnati, OH) I don't see the market dramatically improving even as we get into the spring buying season, and, honestly, I only see mortgage rates continuing to climb for the foreseeable future, taking more and more buyers out of the market.

hey guys I am new to real estate and I just got my first rental property this past year and have tenants and things are finally stable now.

Great tenant that always pays on time - been there for 5 years Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

When evaluating a potential real estate investment, both the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) and the 50% Rule can be helpful tools.

OTM = General, overhead/widescreen view of nationwide market tends.BPRE = Detailed ways specific people are making money in real estate.

I'm a new real estate investor and I recently picked up Brandon's book "Rental Property Investing"..

I'm working with a real estate attorney to help me with transferring the deed.

Multiplied by 3-5 bedrooms and that gets real expensive. 

I am interested in meeting people from whom I can learn more about real estate investing. 

Given the related-party rules and tax complexities, consulting a 1031 exchange expert, real estate CPA and attorney is strongly recommended.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.
