If you're willing to be patient, take on some additional risk, and potentially put up with a complicated process, you may be able to score a great deal on a property.

Given the transaction costs of selling and buying I think keeping it is by far the better play investment wise as well as personal satisfaction

I think you will find a deal if you are patient, poised, and connected.

I would caution you to be somewhat patient here.

Sure, it's a quick way into the market since so many of us have lots of equity (I've got around $300k) but being patient and building my own liquid cash or finding another alternative like a partner or private money is going to be the better path.

I can only imagine what nightmares some people go through with bad partnerships when all they really needed to do is be a little more patient so that they could do it all by themselves. 

All my life I have struggled to be a patient person.

Continue to be patient, wait for the right properties, don't force deals just to have more deals.
