My gut tells me that Texas, particularly Austin and Houston, could be where the next wave of growth and expansion occurs, mainly driven by strong business and job creation trends.Here’s what I’m looking for in my US investments:Free-standing houses with a good land component, at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and in well-maintained condition.Yielding over 6%, with a slight cash flow positive outcome, while also offering medium-term capital appreciation potential.Holding for at least 5 years or more, with a view towards steady growth.The long-term goal is financial independence, reducing reliance on salary-based income, and building assets during this accumulation phase.Debt reduction is on the horizon—looking to consolidate and start winding down debt within the next 7 years.If anyone has experience investing in the Texas real estate market or any tips on navigating US property investments, feel free to share your thoughts!

In addition to joining the seller to the buyer at the hip for several years/decades when the seller wants a clean break, the properly-discounted, risk-weighted, money to be received by the seller is less than the immediate sale price.

Because they have found it a time suck, a brain drain, stress factory that takes away from everything else in there life including scaling and to time leverage is worth it's weight in gold. 

I would also expect to start to see some significant price reductions on land, especially those parcels which are not buildable or have no utilities on them. 

$X principal reduction gets you X extra months.  

But you would not get both the loss from the new sale and the reduction in profit from the old property. 

You didn't owe them a rent reduction.

Since your current cash flow is $20,000 (split between two partners), that’s a 10% reduction.

With those two combined that is going to help me have a lower monthly mortgage payment.have you thought about negotiating a price reduction and negotiating seller concessions that you can use for buying a lower interest rate and/or closing costs?

Make sure to factor in possible rate hikes when calculating your future expenses.Regarding your offer and projected numbersOffer Price Offering $525K on a property listed at $619K is a significant reduction.
