Hey Trevor,Man, this situation sounds incredibly frustrating, especially since you’ve clearly done your due diligence on this property.

Hello,I have invested in a few properties meant for long-term renting.I have also since started a rental property management company that operates in areas we know very well (ascendiadynamics.com)Porto and Lisbon are very expensive areas at the moment. 

I have $55K in the stock market at the moment and plan to save (and grow) the remaining in the stock market until I have enough to pay off the entire mortgage. 

I know many agents have been coached to use a scare tactic that in theory a seller could refuse to pay any buyer commission, but that is an incredibly remote possibility.

My partners and I (3 of us) are based in Miami FL (not the easiest market at the moment) we are all realtors / brokers and investors, each have 20+ years of experience down here, have done multiple ground up single Family and duplex builds and currently have a portfolio of single fam and duplex properties.

Selling that first property was a defining moment in my real estate investment journey.

You are going to see a lot of wholesalers offering off-market deals there.Beware, even seasoned flippers are having a tough time making flips pencil at the moment.

Places like Leander, Cedar Park, and Georgetown are seeing incredible infrastructure improvements and population spikes.

It's going to be incredibly difficult to cash out refi BRRRR in the Heights right now, the pricing is too high imo.

After buying this house, I partnered with others to invest in a duplex in the Wichita area.At the moment, I’m living in Tennessee, and I’m weighing two options: either selling my house and using the proceeds to buy a duplex in Overland Park or Wichita with my partners, or keeping the house for another 3 years, transferring it to our LLC, and renting out the entire property to maximize its rental potential ( $1400-$1600 ) I currently owe $200k on the property with a 6.5% interest rate, and my monthly payment is between ($1,700-$1800).
