Plus other factors of course, but those are 2 big ones for me.I have contemplated this same thing with some of my free and clears, especially in this low rate environment.   

I’ve also contemplated on building onto one of my duplex, which has a big empty lot, this option I was quoted 130K for a new 2/1 1000 SF home.I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions...Ivan,

I have read the BP book on long distance real estate investing, and I even contemplated buying my first house in a different state, but we ended up buying a primary place of residence here.It would be great to talk to some people who also live abroad and hear how they got started, where to start (choosing a state while avoiding state taxes, what resources to use, if they visit the area they are investing in first, etc.).

Originally posted by @Marc Izquierdo:Hi Marc,What you are contemplating is called "Rent Concessions".Some owners will offer 1st month free (your vacant anyway) on a 13 month lease.People move when forced to, or when they can afford to move up.

With the Coronavirus causing Florida's theme parks to contemplate closing, there is a risk of Florida heading for a downturn.

We have contemplated keeping the house and renting it out.

I am contemplating on putting a shower in the unit instead of a bathtub.

Finally- contemplating a 1031 exchange on the property anyway in a year or so and thinking that incorporating is pointless if that’s the plan.

I’ve been contemplating getting rid of my property manager which is renters warehouse and use an app like cozy to collect payment and manage my rental myself.

I am all for capitalizing on good deals, but particularly if it means selling assets that you wouldn't have otherwise been contemplating selling, just to try to time this market, is a risky play in my eyes.
