It sounds like mistakes were made on the properties but I'm also questioning the market (you didn't say where these are). 

This means having to take a chance and take the property off the market for 2 weeksOption 2- Accept the offer with a provision that allows you to continue to market the property, knowing that there's a chance FHA may not fund the deal. 

Hello @Daniel Summer,The Memphis market has a solid MHA/Sec 8 rental.

I bought a condo in Norman Oklahoma 3 years ago and due to the rental market, I have struggled to get another.

I am not sure if I should stay local to my market.

You picked a great community to join.. have you checked out local comps to gauge the market vibe yet?

I help investors find opportunities in the NYC market, specializing in residential and commercial properties.

Utah market.

My problem i is my market is super expensive if I stay in the nyc area and I don’t have the confidence since I don’t have any actual experience to invest out of state do you guys think paying off my mortgage would be more beneficial than looking for more rentals .

Southern Maine is a great market for long-term rentals, with strong demand in many areas.
