Matter of fact, I had the sheriff serve the eviction, changed the locks and my handyman and I removed all the large furniture then I showed it to the new tenant while we were cleaning it out.

There are places where you could buy several homes with your $500K using the cash and then once you've established a credit history in Canada, refinance them.I don't know how mortgages work in the UK, but in Canada you lock in for a long time (amortization period) of up to 25 years and then a shorter term (3-5 years). 

They are taught lock properties up and flip the contracts.  

My thoughts are don't lock yourself in for 24 months when the market might change in a positive way that changes your mind when it comes time to finally transfer the property.Instead, just lease it for 6-12 months at a time, and then re-evaluate as each lease comes up what is the best option for you.

Actually fell a lot as I was locked in for my refinance due to all this Trump induced drama, treasury yields are getting slaughtered.  10 yr yield was about 2.50% when I did mine.

I own a lot that is land locked.

I'm not sure if it's locked or not.Do I have rights to remove the junk?

With the mortgage rates decreasing, is it too late to get a new lender even though we’ve pretty much turned in our paperwork and “locked” in at 4%?

Instead, you want to use the BRRRR strategy of finding a distressed property, buying lower to create locked-in value, rehabbing, renting and then refinancing?
