We are excited, at times frustrated, and have a healthy level of anxiety, but all of those elements were expected from the start.I'll try to keep this thread updated, as it has always been helpful for me to read others' experiences.

@Robert Quiroz I’m seeing sellers who purchased at a lower price and either have low interest rates or little to no debt on their property.

The rates will be lower and will allow you to maximize profits.

Our median price home is much lower than Austin.

some hype but also a lot of good information.also remember: seller finance of a paid off asset, lower risk. 

It is typically lower than cash-on-cash and you can put it somewhere around 6% conservatively.

This is significantly lower than the mid west in the US.A really nice thing over there is that rents are often payed once per year.Dubai have a very consentrated power and decision organ which leads to very low predictability.

You could also get a line of credit for about $150k (you should be able to borrow 75% of the value.)The reason I suggest this is…1) you save $40-$60k in selling costs. 2) you have a lower blended interest rate (2/3rds at 3.25% and 1/3rd at 7 or 8% instead of the whole $500k at 7 or 8%) saving you another $1k/mo in interest. 3) you only pay interest on that $150k when you actually use it, not from day 1  Unless you hate this property, or want to buy something you can’t afford without selling, that would be my plan.

I used Roofstock to sell one of my rental properties in TX as their sales commission is lower than going through traditional sales channels. 

Using a HELOC can provide you with the necessary capital at a lower interest rate to fund your next projects without leaning too heavily on hard money lenders, which can eat into your profits.Here are a some actors that you would want to consider:1.
