Now we are more selective.The worst were those with flea infestations, flooded basements, burst pipes throughout & then mold remediation. 

We are there in the Stock Market, and also in C markets for Self-Storage.

I have a considerable amount of equity in the house (HCOL area), and after the renovations are complete we are looking to sell the house in order to use the proceeds to kick start the next venture (flipping).  

Although, we are in an easily accessible market I have owners that have never seen their properties.

Bruce, We are based in SATX, but are considering where to buy our first (and hopefully 2nd) investment property in 2025.  

We are currently in the process of Renovating this home built in 1965 and plan to have completely transformed it by spring 2025.

I am not saying that to brag, the reason I say it is we all wish we could get into real estate at a younger age - but we are all different and depending on your level of risk, sometimes being patient is not a bad thing as its a marathon not a sprint.  

move out and turn it entirely into a rental.as i say in what seems like every post on BP right now, we are not in a 'cash flow' market with prices and rates high. 

Hello, my ex and I have divorced and we’re managing the property together, it’s currently not cash flowing so we are paying 50/50. 

I signed a one-year note, starting at 18% interest and accelerating to 20% in the second year in the event of non-payment, which technically the note is now in default.
