@Chace FraserGreat advice from everyoneI’ll reach out to the lender I have a good relationship with and see what my options are.Cheers

For years, I knew that I did not want to stay in the Northeast but up until now I haven't felt like I was ready or had a good excuse to take the plunge and move.I have been reducing the amount of "stuff" in my life for years to the point where I can now fit everything that I own in (or on) my 2011 Honda Fit.I have paid off all of my debt, have over 6 months of my current spending in cash, and have a current NW around $282k with $120k of that in a taxable account.I have a stable job as a Data Analyst that I have been working remote with since the pandemic hit.I am single with no children or pets (but do have 2 small house plants)I love walking, cycling, mountain biking, snowboarding, kayaking, hiking... basically all things active and outdoors.I like to reduce the amount of my personal consumption and focus on the important things in life such as my relationships, health, and finances.I am that guy in the neighborhood that always walks or bikes everywhere although I have a great car parked in the driveway.Anyway, a good friend of mine asked what I thought about moving out west with him.

Keep in mind the title company will need to keep the lights on and stay in business as well.Two key factors in real estate are numbers and relationships. 

It’s a relationship business.

@Ijeoma P. working multiple brokers is tough...sure, the first call probably went well, but this is a relationship business...I've sourced 7-deals this month and none of them went to folks that were running the broker circuit.

They may have a personal relationship with a different QI firm. 

The repairs after the fact are not going to be an issue I have a contractor that I have used in my personal homes for many years and created a good personal relationship with, he knows what needs done and how I like my work preformed without my having to stand over his shoulder.

Or is it wiser for the owner to manager b/c they are onsite?

Most importantly I'm looking to network and build a future of trust and reliability with the relationships that cross my path.

The relation ship between appreciation and property value, specifically equity build up, is on a 1 to 1 ratio.
