Here is an example:Yesterday I wrote an offer for a $40k house in good but not updated condition, in a solid C neighborhood that's currently rented for $875/month by a lady who's paid 2 months ahead.

But due to the "stay at home" lockdown here in NY, our expenses are down over $1,000 month, and if we include our employed daughter who spend every dollar she earned on her full time job while living rent free with us, she now has a surplus of $1,000 month, so we're in fact ahead as a family.What should we do??

North Dakota had its bull run and crashed a few years ago, it was looking good for a short time, but not to the full steam ahead like in 2012-2014

Weeks go by, we provide mountains of documents, I ask for rates and terms a half dozen times and never get a straight answer.

I currently have all my loans from big banks now so looking ahead to keep up I can either network with private/hard money lenders or pay off properties to free up my debt to income ratio.

Of course it’s only 25%, but it is still a good faith effort and came straight from Airbnb’s bank account. 

You want to know this stuff ahead of time. 

My question is should I go ahead and raise my bid?

Then give your tenants a heads-up that you'll have to do showings.

Using the $50K to buy two places where the tenants pay the mortgage will get your further ahead in the long run than buying one place, paying it off quickly and then buying a second.
