If you were able to build equity over time, it could be smart to sell, pay off your loan, and use the money for another venture (flip, investments, etc) if it is truly bleeding you out.

I am always on the lookout for off market properties around the Sacramento area.

It'll take time but can really pay off if you stick with it.I'm in Los Angeles and I've investing in TN and GA in the past, and currently investing in SE Wisconsin (your area).Let's connect and discuss the market.

First off, I want to acknowledge how tough this situation is—especially as a first investment property.

The more deals you’re part of, the more you learn about:✅ Structuring deals✅ Managing risk✅ Negotiating with partners✅ Handling financingTaking part of a good deal helps you build real-world experience that will pay off big in the future when you do bigger and better deals.3.

If I had to leave a takeaway from this post before getting too far in it would be that whatever goals are had you have, we have these goals for a reason and typically it does not go exactly as planned but even if it doesn't go as planned, we can pick up where we left off and give it a fresh start.

Quote from @Dylan Gomez: I inherited two homes, both were paid off one was livable, and I now live in it, the other was a rental in TERRIBLE condition.

I think that this niche pays off a little better than SFH's.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

The secret to dominating the world of off-market acquisitions isn’t about delivering a slick pitch or being pushy—it’s about becoming the trusted, go-to problem solver that sellers want to work with.
