A deal is a deal, but it helps if you have someone in mind when you contract it. 

Keep in mind if there are economic shifts that you are seeing, so is everyone else, so you may have missed the boat.   

Keep in mind that assessed value isn't market value most of the time . 

Also, keep in mind that if you do self manage, you do put yourself at more risk for a legal issues.

I'm looking into cities of central AR (LR, NLR, Benton/Bryant) Hot Springs area, and NW AR (Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville).If you don't mind me asking, what is it you like to offer new investors?

Here’s my two cents:Paying off the condo might make sense if your main goal is to reduce risk and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with no mortgage.

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business. 

If you don't mind me asking, who's running your numbers/proformas for you? 

Are there any potential risks or downsides I should keep in mind before proceeding?

With that in mind, maybe Memphis is not the place to invest.
