There will definitely be rude slum lords but I would say I have made some seriously good connections from just introducing myself.

The more money to be made the more risk you take.  

These items have me slightly concerned and weighs on my decision, making me want to "take the money and run".Question: Would you sell, abandoning a 3.125% interest rate, $1000/mo cashflow (which I believe would be roughly halved if a loan were taken for the capital improvements to the larger property), to lock in the equity gains tax-free made since 2020?

Hey Chris, welcome to the Valley.. and what a leap you’ve made, going from the East Coast’s fast pace to the wide-open spaces of Gilbert and Phoenix!

The house has been on the market for 26 days when we made an offer. 

This is a buy and hold in a great location in a great market Does anyone know of a group i can post this deal And last option we were considering was to use her cards to pay off my debt so then I can buy the house from her and get a loan on it If u made it this far thanks 🙂
