If you're looking for better cash flow and don't mind being more hands-off, the out-of-state options might work.

They will be familiar with the market and can provide more competitive terms. 

Looking at Visio lending at an option as well.Visio seems more established and longer time in business.

Aloha Patrick,  please DM me, I would be glad to help.  

Having to buy another primary residence, to avoid tax on the gain of your current home, has not been a requirement for over 20 years.Assuming it was your primary residence from the beginning, and you have not moved out/rented it for more than 3 years, you gain is exempt up to $250k filing single and $500k married/filing jointly.

The buyer then decided to make the payment on the property out of his own pockets to get it out from foreclosure and ensure more time.
