OK so put a property under contract, went to get affidavits of heirship and now they are stalling on selling the house.

Alecia,Ocala has been a very strong market and has been known as an "Equestrian" type area due to all of the horse farms and stables. 

Thus, it’s better to hold your horses and be patient with your current deal if it doesn’t seem to be working.

Side note: I'm not entirely sure what's happening in Pilot Point but I've had a handful of lease leads that are horse trainers moving to the area.

It is in the flood zone, has a 1000sqft home built on concrete slab, a garage, horse barn, water well, and unattached building which was being converted into airbnb.

But we're not there yet, so as long as this horse and pony show continues, keep trading your funny-paper for hard assets as quickly as possible.

It is good to have multiple horses in the race. 

William, my 2 cents is this.dont put the cart before the horse, but do your best to be reasonable about what you expect the near future to hold. from the limited info i know have gathered from you.you are starting out and need some more cash to fuel some deals. you are conservative in your expectations and realistice. you paid cash for your 1st house so you know how to save.i dont know your age, but that has to play a factor.rates are very low and taking advantage of the cheap money would be huge. what i think i would do, is cash out leaving something like 30% equity and make sure you are very comfortable with what the payment on your primary will be.

I used to get accused of "picking nickels out of horse**** while wearing boxing gloves" by some of my "smart" (ie;employed by Fortune 100 employer) friends.I always told them; "I get love at home, I do this for MONEY".I once met a guy on a SFO-DFW flight who was making his monthly trip to the Dallas area to "manage" his rental properties.

Maria Keating You might be putting the cart in front of horse here a bit.
