Hello all, I have a SFR that i have about 50k equity in, I have a 15year note, payments are 995 and it rents for 1250 a month, Im thinking about selling next summer, my question is should I sell this property and invest the funds into a 4 plex or multi-family units or should i jump into the buy and flip game?  

Should I contribute some capital to have "skin in the game"?

I think that you have a pretty good game plan in order.

The sellers are selling their homes for full market value (no realtor commisions), and enjoying fair market rents from a lease option buyer who's been talking to a mortgage broker from day 1 (and has a little bit of nonrefundable skin in the game).

In MA there have been some screwed up foreclosures and legislation has just been passed to correct some of the issues.I am working a case right now where supposedly the foreclosure auction was held 5 years ago but never recorded.

So play the numbers game and keep going until you find someone that needs your help to get rid of their property.  

Hello again everyone, I am still new at the real estate investing game and have a passion for real estate.

@Cody Barrett is the seller open at all to seller financing, or is he pining to get out of the game?

All Landlords are welcome, we share information on rentals, evictions, legislation, property for sale and other issues and problems that we encounter day to day.

I'm pre-qualled for a conventional loan with 20% down, so I have some skin in the game.
