If the answer is you have enough cash to get you through this transition and this money is truly available to invest I would personally consider looking for deals now and if the right opportunity came up go with an "all cash" purchase.

@Misook Foley, I see in your profile that you're wanting to make the transition from small rentals into commercial. 

Rents can be very high in Florida so it makes more sense for us to buy.I've only rented for a short time frame when in transition and the landlady I had was so particular it was not worth the stress. 

Are you still doing mostly arbitrage or have you transitioned more into managing others units as you’ve scaled?

@Nishil Kothary the areas I selected are close to NYC direct transits. 

I currently use a service call Cozy, but they are not taking new customers, since they are transitioning to Apartments after CoStar acquired them.

It's hard to stand out.There are some owner-occupied segments with people who share motivating factors for selling their home.Seniors with Long-time Ownership: often ready to downsize or transition to assistance.Homeowners with Low Financial Stability Scores (FSS): Struggling financially and likely ready to cash in on their asset.Both these categories have additional advantages in that they probably don’t haven’t been updated and may have deferred maintenance.

It might have been in the transition when BP was being purchased.

Hi-

I've been investing in residential properties since 2006. I have flipped four properties and currently own 8 rentals, mostly duplexes, triplexes and a couple SFR's. I'm about to acquire another duplex and a 4-p...

There have been moments when a tenant moved out early and we helped in that transition.
