Two reasons:1.

We are keeping it for two more years (refinancing now), to see what a five year window brings before we pull the plug and stay local.

They also made me sign TWO of the very same contracts that I cannot place a FSBO sign in my yard, it can only be the Listwithfreedom sign, which I can buy from them for $50.

totally hear you, pre 2021 in knoxville was a totally different ball game. again depending on your goals and strategies, your expectations aren't unrealistic. some deals may require more of an investment to make the numbers work like one of my student rentals that was a full gut project and took nearly a year to complete yet it spits out 15% cash on cash returns annually and i purchased that late 2022. investing in general is a risky endeavor, it's all relative to ones own risk tolerance depending on their position. we try and make calculated risks and look to evaluate multiple exits before pulling the trigger, yet there is still some risk involved. maybe a reit or syndication is the way to go if you want to be in real estate yet don't want to take on the properties yourself. either way i'm happy to make some local connections. 

Ive apply on two different accounts and sent customer service emails and no response.

Purchase price: $105,000 Cash invested: $39,000 I own two 2/1 Duplexes.

Suncadia is a resort property with two hotels, 400 vacation homes, four swimming pools, four restaurants, and two golf courses.

My only 'two cents' is that the answer to your decision will largely be driven by your budget.
