Just hoping that a reasonable build could be possible, not trying to spend a fortune. 

I am wondering if i am losing out on money by renting long term?

From what Ii understand brokers pass deals along to past client they know can close a deal and when it hits the market its almost like a graveyard...I think for myself I'd be better off closing a deal with a mom-n-pop type owner and hopefully seller-finance an older property with some value-add to force appreciation.I appreciate your response, do you have any feedback on this?

There’s a meetup tomorrow night in Martinsburg that I’m attending to hopefully make even more connections (I can message you the info if you want to go too!) 

Hoping to keep the deals we want for ourselves, we can wholesale ones that don't work for us and if the deal doesn't work for an investor he can potentially get the listing for sale on market.

Hope this helps, Happy New Year, and God bless! 

Would you leave it as a floating rate, hoping the rate goes down?

@Kon ZelI hope you are doing well and I hope you are having a great start to 2020!

All in all I've lost over $25,000 on this property and will probably lose more before I can get rid of it.

I hope the townies weren't too rough on you!
