Now, I'm immune to a lot of the bad things that come with investing because I've been fortunate enough to reap the benefits of the positives and I know to expect them.I also love that most real estate problems can be solved with money.

The growing Los Banos market and strategic location further enhanced its appeal.

Here’s a quick breakdown of your options:Option 1: Sell and Buy Cheaper House with CashPros: No mortgage, no interest payments.Cons: Older homes, more repairs, possibly worse neighborhoods.Option 2:Use Proceeds as Down Payment on Better HousePros: Newer, fewer repairs, better neighborhoods.Cons: High mortgage interest rates, higher monthly payments.Option 3: Refinance and Rent Out Mobile HomePros: Rental income, keep property, can still buy another home.Cons:Landlord responsibilities, high refinance interest rates, market fluctuations.Consider market trends, rental demand, and your financial goals.

With that said, the buyer can still proceed with the sale if they are comfortable & able to overcome the appraisal gap and/or a solution is worked out financially between buyer and seller to make it feasible.So if appraisal gap is a concernBefore accepting:- Ensure the sales price on the contract is inline with market expectations. 

The growing Jonesboro market and strategic location further enhanced its appeal.

Pros:- Many ways to invest and lots of different price points: LTR, MTR, STR (I know a couple of people doing STR but STR can be challenging) and different areas to invest- Diverse job market. 

However, finding these deals can be quite challenging if you are new to this market, as it varies street by street.

Begin to network and never stop educating yourself.If you ever consider the Kansas City area, I'd be happy to discuss the current market with you.

Just send your RTR rep a message and we'll get you on the right track.This is an excellent loan option that will allow investors to scale quickly and maximize tax benefits!!

If you're open to other markets, I invest locally in the midwest and I think we have some strong RE markets that are relatively affordable.
