These can serve as back up exit strategies.For example, once you have a reliable tenant with cash flow in a property, you can find a buy and hold investor who will be much more interested in the property, since they'll be spared the trouble of finding a tenant for it.You can also owner finance the property and then sell the note to another investor.† You can sell part of the note for cash now and have income later or sell all of the note at once.If you're having trouble finding local investors, online auctions can offer your property to a potential global market.Even in a soft market some homes will still sell at or near full market value.† Of course, you don't want to incur six months of holding costs waiting for your price so you have to get creative to make your property stand out.† One way is to "Go Green".† A few touches like solar hot water with a tankless water heater back up and adding rain barrels to the downspouts in order to maintain landscaping inexpensively even during drought conditions can put your property ahead.† Everyone likes ideas that save them money and if it is good for the environment too that is an extra bonus.

You can buy a list if you want, but I have hte time to spare as I go to school away from home.
