I help investors build and keep, sell, maintain, and offer full service for their portfolios of cash flow properties.

It costs a lot just to maintain membership ($3K/year is on the low side and $10K is not excessive ). 

About $600/mo after taxes, mortgage, insurance, and property management, but I need cash to invest further, hence the question to sell or cash out refi.With current rates and using box homeloans instant quote, I estimate that I can maintain 75%LTV, take out about ~$200K, and basically come out even after rental income.Not an easy decision right?

He agreed but only if i would also purchase a second house which was not in as great an area but was structurally much better maintained for another 70K to which I also agreed Now i didn't have the cash necessary to buy both houses but I agreed anyways thinking "If I've got the deals the money will find me".

I would suggest speaking to a septic installer in your area that installs and maintains these to explain them in detail, and give you a better understanding of them. 

Mike, totally agree with you, its very hard to maintain a 5 star rating.

I'm reaching to motivated sellers as a cash buyer and am curious what methods others have taken.My site is SEO optimized and I'm following a plan to get higher ranked but have been advised it can take 6 - 12 months to move to page 1.

Additionally, since you aren't living in Mexico you may have to consider additional cost of a management company that will take care of renting, cleaning and maintaining the property.

It actually means I don't have to cut grass or maintain shrubs there but wondering if I should be more concerned about it since a previous prospective buyer walked away because of it.
