However an idea that has been floated around has been using this as an opportunity to get into the real estate business flipping homes.

We like to go back and visit a few times a year if we can so I have floated the idea of buying something that we could Airbnb during the times we are not there.Does anyone own and Airbnb a property in Dallas?

If you are going into the business you will need the ability to float expenses for months.

One thing you could do to prepare would be to list your property and entertain offers with contingencies that give you a floating closing date or place significant earnest money in escrow until you can find and contract your replacements.It's a sellers market so sellers aren't as likely to give you a contingency to sell your property.  

My husband and I only have less than 10k in savings, and right now are just staying a float with his checking account.I would like to prepare myself, educate myself as much as possible.

Good morning BP, I am a newbie still floating through the boards and learning daily.

Hello everyone,My name is Gabriel Trujillo, private real estate investor in SWFL, I have been a member of "Biggerpackets" for quite sometime but I kind of drift away for awhile.

The short version: countries like Brazil, Argentina and Mexico were carrying massive development loans from IMF/WB on floating interest rates. 

I'd pay out of pocket a couple hundred to float them, but if the properties were worth the same as I bought them i'd Net 1.5 million from the 70% LTV of the original property.

The reason it is an “ARM” is that after the first 5, 7, 10 years the the interest rate will then float based on an indexed value (LIBOR or similar).
