In my state of north Carolina its much easier to just assign a contract. ideally you should have buyers that don't care about what you make as long as they are getting the best deal anywhere around.

For someone with modest resources the ideal deal is one the can actually pull off.

Ideally the agent will have experience working with investors and cash buyers.

For the steady, long term, play, stay in markets below the national average, and ideally below 3.0.  

Ideally id do a 1031 exchange but does anyone know on the requirements for holding and renting it etc?

It's not ideal... but it's a non-credit score hit option for you.Since you have a mortgage, you can use the incoming monthly payments to pay your existing mortgage.

Or a TSP loan if you use it (not ideal but if you have that much in your G fund then you are just paying yourself the interest).  

It is move in ready so obviously it is not ideal for wholesale.

I'm aware alot of the north is not the most ideal.  

For some reason a cheap home ($50k) with good ROI seems like the ideal investment.
