I would not be afraid to low-ball offer at a price that works for you.

It seemed to me like that direct mail cash offer was a low ball offer from some guy who was looking up parcels of land in that specific county.If I'm wrong, out of line, or am missing any crucial information, please let me know.

I’d like to get in on these low mortgage rates and do a partial cash-out refinance so I can get this ball really moving.

Hello Heidi, Around Hartford we've seen big growth over the last year in selling prices (especially in some towns), but it's hard to have a crystal ball for how much values will grow organically in the next couple of years. 

I'd sell and take the profit now, before the capitol gains taxes get into the more ridiculous range, which they are likely heading to.But my crystal ball is saying that right now owners and investors are looking for property to buy, but not many are selling so the price is high and going higher. 

- I understand my obligations as a landlord continue up to the time the sale is complete, are there any considerations I should make when that point is reached, or from that point on is the buyer's ball game?

Looking for advice as to how to get this ball rolling!

When I researched the numbers they provided,  I found the ARV overblown and the repairs low balled to justify the asking price.

For larger deals (50-200 units), you will be looking bigger pots of money and more sophisticated investors, such as equity partnerships, syndication, non-recourse financing from institutional lenders.SCALING: Obviously, you know some things about land lording which would apply to smaller 2-4 units, but when you get over 20 units in one place that's a whole different ball of wax as you will be handling daily maintenance calls, snow plowing (I hear even TX gets ice and snow....too soon?)

The basement is cool, first floor warm and the top second floor uninhabitable on days when the outside temperature is above about 80+.
