I would tell people today that if you buy a primary residence expect to stay in that home for atleast five years, especially with a FHA loan which has lower down payment as the current forecasts for home appreciation or very low which with closing costs on the buy and sell, it will take several years to have equity in the property and enough to be able to sell, so that is something also to consider.

Give them all a call and see if they are willing to sell and if not are they in the market to buy.

While I am normally in the do-not-sell camp, in this case it might just sell and buy at the new location.

Since then, we have been dedicating our time to learning as much as possible—reading extensively, analyzing potential deals, and listening to BiggerPockets podcasts.After careful consideration, we decided to sell our current home and rent instead, allowing us greater flexibility as we begin our real estate investment journey.

If you want to acquire more real estate I suggest more savings or sell the other property with equity. 

Many investors buy properties Subject-to, and some even sell them Subject-to.

👋It’s awesome that you’ve already started diving into the calculators and podcasts—those are great resources for anyone just getting started.Since you’ve had some rental experience already, I’d love to hear what you found most challenging about owning and selling that property back in 2017.

Similar to what Patrick stated - most have ITINs and have seen a lot of loans like that and those are sold many times on secondary market. if not I know people who still originate I would say they are tougher to sell on secondary market but there are still buyersRe: jay comment - price of notes has doubled over past five years on many loans - especially defaulted or loans with some hair too them. 

For example, houses where the homeowner needs help and may consider selling to me. 

Things selling a little slower here lately
