We made an offer on it and the seller agreed to our terms.

Once that phase is complete, I’d transition back into long-term holds.As for the cash-out refi, without at least doubling the rent, I’d be in a net-negative position each month, which doesn’t seem like a worthwhile trade-off.On the tenant side, I agree with your point about the business aspect—it’s something I’m working on coming to terms with.

And I totally agree, providing the best value is key and I know that's what would eventually "win" the deal for me at the end of the day.

Everyone just relax and make sure you have adequate insurance, it'll be ok.....I agree, LLC overkill.

Totally agree with your notion @John Underwood.

I agree with John: if the photo will detract, don't do it.  

As an investor, I’ve had multiple sellers try to get out of an agreement after we had a legally executed mutually agreed upon sales/purchase agreement.

I agree that between Oceanside, Carlsbad, Bay Park and Clairemont, Oceanside will be the most reasonable market.

Really like the sentiment around being flexible and creative to get a deal done, I agree, it takes looking at things in a slightly different lens to make them come together currently and I think that will continue as we get into 2025 as well.  

I hate to say it but it's starting to feel a bit like 2007, with sub2 being the new subprime mortgage...Agree about the 2007 feel.
