The odds were slim that I'd get what I need and I didn't want to bring any money to the table.  

My thoughts about your (very slim) likelihood of successful refinancing have been expressed in the other thread you posted about this.

There will be a lot of drama and turnover on these properties so the choices for property managers in those areas are slim. 

We could use a fix and flip loan and then refinance (BRRR) but the margins are so slim that our lender isn't super motivated to do the deal.  

I'm assuming the pickings are going to be quite slim as far as using these strategies.

HI @Tim Upton,The Pricing your agent came up with seems to be pretty in line although you are correct in that inventory in sub $550K 2 beds is pretty slim so maybe for that reason alone you could test it a bit higher.  

Oh that cost us an additional $5K of cash out of pocket.It was a couple months of slim pickings in our household until we could get our properties rented, us moved into one of the units and basically dig out of what was otherwise a tight situation.  

That said, I've never sold a house, and have only done some basic cosmetic fixes on my rental before showing it so my experience in the renovation world is slim at best. 

@Jason Hirko  I would love to do Austin but it seems really slim over there from what I have looked at so far and I am also not sure about the city ordinances.

Or, they might be okay with that slim of a margin.
