Option 1 is more to fix the outwardly flowing rent money, but like @Ben Durwood says, it's extremely hard to find.Ben, I agree with your thoughts.

Appreciation is great when it happens at the right time, but if you are depending on it as part of your profit you may (or may not) be disappointed.

Recently looked at an absolutely beautiful home, and priced extremely well, too.

I'd add that flipping even 30 minutes away from where I live would put me in an extremely uncomfortable situation.

This way, when a deal did come available, I would be ready to pull the trigger extremely quick.

We closed on the refinance and left the closing with a few thousand dollars in our pocket, paid off the HML, and it is a cash cow.In my deal, the end appraisal was disappointing.

Hi Paul,There are very hot neighborhoods in Philly where days on market are extremely low.

Hello everyone,Newbie to the RE world, but extremely excited to learn all I can and implement this knowledge in my local market, while networking and making as many mutually beneficial connections as possible!
