Additionally, lenders may require a release price (a specific amount to pay down the loan) for each property sold, which can complicate the strategy.It’s worth discussing these details with a trusted lender or mortgage broker to ensure the plan aligns with the loan’s terms.

Home price appreciation is still trending up, but cashflowing rentals are difficult to find for the most part.

Price RangeDefine your financial boundaries based on available capital and borrowing ability:For Class A & B, financing typically covers 75%-80% of the purchase price, allowing you to buy properties in the $6M-$12M range if you have $2.3M total cash.For Class C & D, due to higher risk, the price range might be reduced to $5M-$10M with the same cash.5.

You would have to be significantly cheaper than my current cleaners for me to give you a shot, because I generally have only changed cleaners for either consistent subpar work or increasing/unreasonable prices.

About me, most of my assets are RE but in another market so I would be diversifying in that market.Potential for appreciation is very uncertain: prices have risen a lot locally lately and are as high as they have ever been, and it’s unlikely higher prices would be affordable by locals.

No one can answer that because we don't know what market you are in and what your list price is versus the actual value, as well as the scale of the town.When something hasn't sold in 50 days, it's overpriced.

To minimize time the property is vacant, have the Realtor coordinate with the existing Tenant for the last 30 days of their occupancy for showings so you have the best possible chance of securing a new Tenant without a break in between.I would love to know some of the details of your property, and do a rental rate check up to confirm you have the right price. 

And do you have a certain price range in mind and I assume you're good with up to a moderate level of rehab?
