As you can imagine, it's been difficult.We are needed a month to month or max 3 month lease while we search for our forever home in NE IL.

We also got an amazing deal on our Louisville 7 house portfolio and bought them off market, I bought the duplex in Austin in 2020 off of the MLS.As you can see both are great, but the Austin property has built more wealth for me, is less management intensive and will likely continue to appreciate faster in the future.I'm not saying I'm going to stop doing either, although we won't hold onto our BRRRR portfolio in Louisville forever as the management is inefficient and it works better on paper than in real life. 

Are your days wide open to accept visitors for events, such as local football games?  

However there is no benefit for the seller to not have a set closing date and have the property under contract forever.

I personally plan on holding my investments forever and passing them on too my future children.  

I assume you don't plan on staying there forever, yes?

I could go on forever but hope that's enough to encourage you to keep working those phones. 

I didn't see myself (young and single) staying in San Antonio to live forever.

I like to advise that when looking OOS  keep in mind each of the go to cities have their plus's and minus.. at the end of the day I beleive you want to buy as close to the median price point as possible.. reason being in those areas you have homeowners buying as well.the second you go into low end low value ( where the numbers look the best) you are now for ever in the land of investors and the exit is ONLY to an investor and the rental pool is much tougher.. the reality is inverse to what many think.. you go for high cash flow % returns you take on greater risk limit exit and take on the risk of a very bad investment over time.you be happy with modest cash flow returns  buy were homeowners are still buying with decent schools etc.. and your return although not the magic that those on bP talk about but for out of area investors much safer. 

I'm sure the actual way of flipping has been around forever, but that was his trademarked phrase.
