Unpopular opinion since I know you're trying to buy the next property, but keeping your equity in a deal is gold.

We did all the research and comps ourself and did not hire either an appraiser or an attorney.

Hello, my Fellow investorsI am looking for my first investment property and I have been researching markets.

It's been a while since I researched it.
