It's still reducing your major expenses, while allowing you to own an appreciating asset. 

You do not want to purchase into an HOA that previous owner did not pay his share of up coming cap ex leaving the buyer to pay the majority of the costs.   

It's a new construction so hopefully nothing major but you never know.

I think because the majority of people who refinanced during COVID are holding up, we don't see much inventory in the market.

FSBO, you don't need them at all you can listed by owner in Al major listings sites, If you choose by agentI Then i do as following I offer  a fix fee of 10k per mill for listing agent and offer 2k fee (tip) for buyers agent at Best! 

I vote Belize or St Kitts - both English speaking, safe, inexpensive, and offer direct flights to/from major airports like Atlanta and Miami...

Compare that to a nearby major metro like Muskegon that has 5x more homes for sale than rental units available!  

I would open an LLC establish an EIN, open a business checking account with major FDIC bank. 

Not always the case, but we see a large majority in our area. the way, I see this going – if wholesaling will now require a license, they will either be large groups of vigilantes conducting this anyway, or a severe lack of deals for agents who assume that properties will just show up in front of them.

Before any major renovations, conduct a home inspection and termite inspection if needed.
