I find it strange that no one has if it's allowed, but if you are first to market, you are essentially the guinea pig.

If you do not qualify, you would then look into if you would qualify with renting your departing residence. 75% of the lease will be used to offset that departing residence mortgage. as you mentioned the timing of renting the place can absolutely be tricky so you would hope you do not have to do this.Finally, and I guess would be sorta of a trick, but we do bridge loans on occasion in this case IF you can qualify once you get the property rented at market value even if debt to income ratio is too high before it is rented.

Welcome Joshua, I work the Atlanta market.  

Market being hot helped and no permits to deal.

But if costs are high or demand is uncertain, holding onto the land while monitoring the market might be the better play.

You were not afforded a reasonable (in most states, 30 days) amount of notice to re-market your property. 

Quote from @Michael Ewers: Hey y'all, Wondering what is the best marketing strategy for obtaining off market leads?

May sound strange but one thing to remember is when mortgage rates take a big drop it causes more buyers to come to the market.

Are you looking into certain investment strategies to begin or certain markets? 

I own one rental house in Cypress, but with the current market I have not been able to find another existing single family home to buy that looks like a good investment.
