Of course "hoping" rates will come down is not a sound strategy so finding a way to assume a loan that already took advantage of low rates is a great option.If you were starting over and targeted a large SFH, would you try to maintain the property in a way that would still attract regular homebuyers (not investors) if you needed to sell?

He's in an age and stage of life where he needs cash, not investments.He is fine with me replacing the tenant at market rate if that's what I need to do.

The main thing being: giving up a property that appears to have appreciated pretty well is just a touch pill to swallow and I've regretted a few moves I've made when put in a similar situation to yours, and I had less equity in mine.It sounds like you're moving to Raleigh in the near future and want to buy a multifamily to househack.

Sounds like you have built a great portfolio, looking forward to perhaps linking up!

This sounds like an incredible learning experience!

I would like to get connected with more private lenders in different target area preferably Huston Texas Expanding your network in Houston sounds like a great move.

It sounds like you've done a great job in investing in yourself and taking personal risks. 

@Allison Cutlip No offense intended but "How do we create a lease" and "How do we find software to manage the property" sounds a lot like you need a property manager. 

I do pretty much like more SD than SA, but as you asked, the money that I have to invest it aint that much, goes between 30-40K to start and will be definitely for long term, as I said, I´m a beginner in this business in the US, as commons says I´m at the baby steps stage right now.

That sounds great!
