The last three properties have been on the market for over a year with active showings but no offers.

If our marketing ever comes to fruition, I will update my notes; however, as of now, ConnectLinx is not a valid replacement for Rentlinx. 

And if I sell it why does it make more sense in the long run, and at what price should I sell it for if it’s appraised for less than I bought it with current market. 

I asked the owner of an off-market motel if he was thinking about selling.

The real estate market in my area is now stagnant with a surplus of inventory.  

I plan to rent it for a few years and sell it depending on the market conditions in the future.

I know you mentioned you are looking to flip houses yourself in the BHAM market. 

Also the market and income level (5 miles around the property) is also critical.

Study the market.

Bridge loans can be extremely useful for situations where you may be purchasing a property that has tenants already in the property who are well under market rents to the point where a DSCR loan wouldn't cash flow.
