Florida FAR/BAR, "As-Is" contract...It's on MLS at Transaction Desk.

Someone that can review your (chain of ) title for defects?

Some use local people and some are entirely remote.Beware that many of these AirBNB-assistance companies are either getting close to the line or crossing the line when it comes to genuine management -- which in many places requires a licensed real estate broker.

Are you counting the closing costs on both sides of the transaction?

I have struggled with the sell vs refi question myself ... while I don't have a specific answer to your specific question, here is how I decided: 1)after the refi, will it cashflow with ALL expenses inluded ... if no, sell; 2)If yes to #1, take the sales price you'd get and subtract out the transaction fees to sell (capital gains taxes, RE commissions, etc) ... now, with that adjusted number in hand, ask yourself and answer honestly: If a similar house came on the market tomorrow at that price in that neighborhood would I buy it?

It is a super easy sell on the transaction side (or can be)--think: no major update (floors, fixtures, paint, etc), no vacant time to fix or sale, no marketing costs or time (like realtor fees or 6 mos on market )...So you may be able to shave some off on that, giving seller easier time of it (but maybe not 20-30%)..Best of luck..

I will keep you posted on my San Diego transactions.

Being a young guy out of Cleveland, with more than 1,000+ RE SFR & Multi transactions, in numerous capacities completed, my track record is vast and knowledge capacity is wide.

So if the contract states is not assignable, but that section is crossed out and written atop is "this contract is assignable..." will that hold up if a legal battle is pursued?

It can be profitable but you need to do your due diligence and know as much as possible about what is happening in the transaction.
