So, I'm interested in the Kissimmee Florida area for a potential retirement home.

While they offer great general advice, they can't speak to our market, or the potential of a property located in Scottsdale can provide if held. 

Are you looking to sell a flip or are you in need of funding for a potential flip?

If it were me, I would like consider refinancing only 1 of the 2 properties now and considering the second later in 2025 or even early 2026 when rates potentially soften.

Quote from @Jennifer Hurt: Just some insight Im a nurse and have a friend who rents houses for his home health care business.

I see a lot of potential and I'm looking to purchase my first multifamily duplex in the uptown area.

Just like going to a doctor and them saying "this is gonna hurt", you do not like them telling you, but i would rather be told them have them do it and me scream WTF that hurt, why did you not tell me.The other area where people can overcome this is by actually managing the asset and portfolio and showing your investors that.

Dallas on the other hand has more growth potential in certain markets in my opinion.

There are other questions you need to answer in order to see if there are potential obstacles?

Even one vacancy or non-paying tenant could potentially be a major problem.And yes, there were vacancies, and non-paying tenants, and major problems.
