A good local agent should be able to help with some of those updates needed for the exit sale. 

I was recently exploring a two-story commercial building for sale on a corner in a growing downtown area.

You just have to be careful because some sales agents will just advise you to over improve the property because it makes their job easier.

Opendoor Technologies Inc. has released its annual list of the hottest ZIP codes in the country for home sales. 

Purchase price: $68,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Sale price: $195,000 I purchased a long-term rental property from the MLS that had multiple contractor issues and significant delays.

The property is a single family home that is on sale for $179,000. 

As David indicated, look for properties before you close on the sale of your relinquished property. 

Here are the specifics on our Seattle house: 5br 4ba 3,400 sq ft, built in 2019, $1.7M est sale price, $5.5K-$6K/mo est rental value, 4.0% mortgage with $3.3K monthly payment, around $1M in equity. 

For a 2 unit, an appraiser will rely on comparable sales, but an investor looking for cash-flow may care more about income.

The game plan would be to keep this structure for 1-2 years with future full sale.
