@Jeffrey D. not at all, I appreciate your honesty.

I recently signed new tenants on an 18-month lease and was wondering about alternative exit strategies if I wanted to sell before the lease is up.I haven't read much about single-family turnkey property in England, to be honest, I don't even know if they really do that there. 

To be honest I was struggling a bit with the concept (logistically) of Buy and Hold - that is until now.

If it turns out that the listing agent and/or seller misrepresented a bunch of stuff, and now that you have accurate data the deal doesn't make sense, go ahead either renegotiate, or if that isn't proving useful go ahead and invoke said contingency, recover your earnest money deposit, and let that be a lesson learned for the listing agent and/or seller about the value of honesty when it goes back on the market, meaning they have to pay another month or two of PITI and other carrying costs, maybe their 1031 exchange is screwed up, et cetera.

To be honest, I have very little knowledge of real estate outside the Chicagoland area, but it would be very interesting to learn!

I can see why that'd be your 1st reaction but to be honest I have no real dog in this fight.

I really want to brrrrr my way through this because I like the long-term benefits but to be honest I feel like maybe it would be better to buy and sell.

To be completely honest I havent had to deal with prices such as those.

Sean, I applaud your honesty and integrity.

To be honest I don't know the first thing about tenant evictions but there have been a few done in my real estate office by agents.
