It is much more difficult to sell an entire portfolio that has become uninsurable (which would require a cash only sale) or that insurance rates are so high that no one wants to buy. 

I hope you end up buying here.

This vary heavily town to town. 20% down is great if buying strictly as investment but if you have a way of owner occupying I would explore that route and apply the 20% down to increasing value of property and instead using low money down loan. 

Selling and buying something else you want keep and doing a cost seg in would help with the tax burden probably better in this situation.

My strategy is buy-and-hold, not buy-and-sell.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Piffard.

Just a thought or buy a bizzness that will do far better than rentals. 

The only reason I got an LLC was to buy a commercial property because it was a requirement of the lender.

Quote from @Roxanne Whitaker: Please be aware if you buy an investment property and do not live in MD, when you go to sell it you will pay an 8% tax at settlement.
