And has anyone done this to buy, hold for a little while and then sell for equity?

I started out with "house hacking" and moved into a "buy and hold" strategy.

Im on a variable rate as i knew i would want to refinance eventually.do i:1) take the 50k refinance and go to a fixed rate2)renovate the unit thats leaving and offer to pay the guy to leave and renovate both (maybe try and convert to a 2 bedroom)3) do nothing and just keep renting it outMy goal is to make this full time and not just hold on to a few properties for when i get older.thanks!

Everyone was holding on to their condos like me.

This would be our first DSCR loan, and while I believe I have an idea of how it will all play out, looking forward to seeing the process.Initial thoughts when putting property under contract were [repair, Rent, DSCR c/o, hold].

How long did you hold the property before selling?

I keep hearing about 1031 exchanges, but I'm finding that flips typically can't qualify because I need to hold the property as an investment for two years and then my profits from selling need to be held in a 3rd party account until the purchase of a new like kind property.

Holding people to account for breaking the law - and if he's misappropriated this man's funds, that's what he has done - is not a waste of time; it's the foundation of all property law.

I'm not holding my breath. 

I'lll let you know majority of the time holding tends to be best but I am in no position to give a diagnoses without know more about what's going on.
