If I found myself owning a house with a negative cash flow that I didn't want to sell at market value and take a loss on, the first thing I would look at doing would be to sell it to someone on a lease option.Usually it works like this, I find someone who has income but some credit problems that wants to buy a house.They are willing to pay more in monthly payments and I hold the extra money and apply it to their down payment.I work with them for the next few years to clean up their credit.Then when they have built up a down payment, I have their credit cleaned up and I take them to a bank and get them a new loan and they purchase the house.That's my favorite way to sell a house for more than market value.It's a win-win situation for everyone.

There have also been a lot of cranes in the air in Miami recently, with overbuilding likely....being that occupancy is probably 2-3 years out, it’s a definite gamble on the market, and the influx of South American money which saved the condo market after 2008 is no longer strong.

One of my favorite posts in this thread as I feel like you have articulated it perfectly.

@Mario Gonzalez - My favorite strategy is buying a single family house that’s too big and renting 2-4 bedrooms to single working professionals, and that’s primarily because my favorite areas don’t have duplexes for sale.

Typical stuff I see in the 1% space are too old, built in the 50s and 60s which aren't my favorites.

Love talking real estate.My favorite strategy right now has definitely been the Down payment arbitrage.

In the Colorado Springs area, Woodland Park is my favorite due to cooler weather and Pike’s Forest.

I have done a lot of market research, read books and watched countless videos and my favorite is listening to podcasts.
