We want to know if it's better if we take advantage of this window to sell them tax-free and net close to $250k.

Rental rates will likely remain close to their “sticky” highs, especially after the recent corrections seen in quasi-oversupplied markets and consumers will have to pull back elsewhere.Excluding shelter, core inflation has actually been at 2% for some time now.

My STRs are in lower Michigan but I have done research and know investors who have STRs in the Traverse City area.

In my opinion, i dont think the price can get lower than now which means that from here they will slightly start going up, I reckon it might be very slow, but unless you are in a hurry to sell, i think it can be a very good investment with the years; by now, apart from enjoying the great enviroment and food here, you can also rent it, in high season you can get really good money by renting to foreigners (especially English and Nordics) that follow the spanish sun even in winter!

Some require six months of seasoning, while others may accept three months if the refinance is "on platform," meaning you closed the bridge loan with them.

The RE agent said the floors have large gaps, the flooring is bowing in the kitchen, and other problems that buyers notice.I've talked to realtors about the value of the 2 KS properties and they all say it's going to be hard to get anywhere close to what you paid for those.

They deed it out of the owners name OR they have someone with a fake (looks real) ID show up to sell at the closing table. 

My wife and I are hopefully closing on a two family in MA very soon.

.- thanks  1)  you likely wont be able to use the financing contingency  as it sounds like the loan is available at 80% ltv ...check with your realtor  or a real estate attorney  2)  rates are coming down so check the terms from the lender that can offer  80% or 75%  ltv 3) contact  the smaller to mid size banks and credit unions that are close to the subject property for options   4) if you have the means to leverage the 10% difference via HELOC / retirement account loan or  some other tool- consider it - good luck

So, I'm about to close next week, and I've been looking at commercial properties, specifically 5-8 unit ones.I recently made an offer on an 8-unit building in the Southeast, which seemed like a great deal.
