If you sell now you'll walk away with a lot of money but depending on the specifics of your job you may or may not have to put a significant portion of it back into purchasing a new primary residence, you'll likely be purchasing high as well if it's within the next 6 months.

In other words, HOW you generate a lead has a huge impact on the Negotiation Dynamic you will walk into.

It seems to me like they're hiding something like a lean on the house...The fastest I have ever closed on a house, which was an all cash deal with no inspection (I had already walked it) was just under 3 weeks.

If the inspection was done prior to December 2020 you might want to call the town office and get a new walk trough inspection, don't ask how I know...You should be able to schedule it at the code enforcement's office without having to pay the $250 fee since the permit is still valid.

we are placed right in between two other "trendy" towns that have a fair amount of tourism (although this town does not especially attract tourists the neighboring ones do) and we would be walking distance to the restaurants.I really like your thought on the mobile being 50 years old in 12 years though. good thing for me to ponder. 

I'd love to connect with some BP members that have already walked the path of long-distance real estate investing and talk through how they chose their market and how they set up systems that lead to their success. 

Happy to help with this if you drop me a dm or feel free to comment here and we can walk through it!

Be friendly; talk with neighbors, go on walks, talk to the postman. 

Same situation, would cash flow about $250/mo with no money into the deal.My only fear is I dont want to load up on C class property rentals because of all the drama that comes with it, and lower levels of appreciation and ongoing maintaince, but at the same time it seems foolish to walk away from cash flowing rentals with no money into them. 

@Aaron Kovac You need to fill out a rehab check list when you walk the property, take a lot of photos, and then go home and build a scope of work.
