If it can give more weight to recent contacts in searches would be great too.  

Assuming you bought distressed or at a great value turn-key, you should be able to make a nice profit and always do so as a 1031 exchange so that you buy more properties and increase your cash flow and equity.Liquidate Through 1031 Exchange Every 5-7 Years: Owning for 30 years while the house increases in deferred maintenance, the neighborhood may go down in quality or desirability are not good ideas.

@Darius Moezinia Refinance right after the completion of a 1031 is perfectly acceptable and is a frequently used strategy when cash is desired by the exchangor who does not want to create a taxable boot situation by taking cash or be seen as inappropriately accessing profit by a refinance immediately before a sale that begins a 1031.

That's why I'm thinking to get in touch with a wholesaler (I have no desire to wholesale, myself).  

Sometimes it makes more sense to move a wall to open up a room or add a bathroom to get the desired bed/bath count.

My current desire is to have multiple and passive income streams.

However, if you are on the south side of Framingham, in a less desirable neighborhood your prices aren't to far off.

I have the dream truck I want and don't have the desire to spend on a vehicle.  

I took out a $25k mortgage and sold 2 cars to get started.  7 figures of business later its definitely paid off.Regardless of who it has and has not worked for, this is a very personal decision with no wrong answer.Is your desire to create a life you want greater than your fear of losing that money and more? 

ARV – Desired Profit – Closing Costs to Buy – Repairs – 10% of Repairs – Holdings Costs – Concessions – Realtor Fees – Closing Costs to Sell = Your Offer (MAO or Maximum Allowable Offer).ARV: After repaired value or what you think it will sell for once repaired.Desired Profit: This should be taken off the top first.
