As a real estate broker I would make the same suggestion but as a buyer I feel so lost..

Whether or not it's the bottom, it's definitely a buyer's market in those areas, and they are nice, big cities with major transportation centers. 

I got MAJOR buyer's remorse.

Buyers don’t care if you shelled out more on the rehab, if you’re priced too high, you’ll end up sitting on the market way longer than you want, driving up holding costs.Lastly if your buying on market, REO or Corporate sellers are dominating and not as willing to negotiate as owners would.

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.

Hi Lina, I'm based in San Antonio TX and send many Austin/Kyle area buyers to Blake Anthony Carter with the Cribs Realty Group.

Getting charged a termination fee after that was like kicked in the side after already having a gaping wound.They told me that they would be waive the termination fee if the new buyer signed with them and continued the contract.

I get made whole by the down payment from the next buyer. 

I'm still in the process of growing my portfolio, but have heard others 1031 all their smaller properties into a larger building and have a property management company manage, OR, set up a seller financing deal with another buyer that gives you the cash flow you desire. 

Also, you need to be prepared to screen prospective tenants yourself and verify vouchers before committing to lease.
