Rehab consisted of complete gut renovation of kitchen/dining area, new hardwood floors and refreshed bathrooms (new vanity and paint).I am bullish about the long-term appreciation prospects of the property and have trouble envisioning the hold strategy over the next 10-15 years. 

I'm looking for off market deals to flip or buy and holds.

My current thinking is Buy and Hold with flips along the way. 

Do you hold other assets?

Repeat that for 5 years, and you've got a handful of houses.

I would rather control and hold title if buying property with seller financing rather than doing a Land Trust where the seller remains on title. 

@Avery Biles, read, "Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat" by David Greene and "The Book On Estimating Rehab Costs" by J Scott. 

Hi, I am selling a property and willing to hold mortgage.

Real estate generates a return through cash flow + appreciation.It appears that cash flow is negativeAppreciation appears to be 0% over 2-3 years based on zillowThe question is what you beleive the future will hold for cash-flow and appreciation.Cash-flow will likely continue to be negativeThe question is what do you think about the appreciation for the bay area.If the property continues to stay at $850,000, it will likely not be a good decision to hold on to the property.If you think the property can appreciate to $900,000, $950,000 over a few years, then it can potentially be a good reason to hold. 

Getting hold of them and then retrieving information is like trying to get water out of a stone :-/
