If you think interest rates will rise 3-4 times over the next 12 months I can see the logic in locking in your “cheap debt” on a good property. 3.)

But this may be then most logical option I have 3) I am quickly approaching 45 days and rather than rush into something just pay the damn capital gains tax.

There has to be logic behind that.

Yet the reality of it all.... what may seem logical to one person may seem illogical to another... what you must do is make your journey logical for yourself.... while pivoting the mindset of others, in the direction of being helpful and helping yourself and they will follow...Sorry for a long post, but that's just how I am...

At some point a surge of vacancy seems logical as more of the displaced homeowners resettle into their homes and the new inventory keeps getting added.The wildcard of it all is, how much new demand that will fill the vacancies at rates based on projected population growth. 

Under the same logic - more people live outside of TX than inside the state = Texas sucks.

I'd say the most logical place to start is the deal calculator on BiggerPockets. 

Thank you @Basit Siddiqi and @David Ribardo,I think renting my current home would be the most logical way of doing this.

This is  a deal will be bought in foreclosure fixed up and then rented for 3-5 years  before we sell.Can you please be a critic of my logic in buying all cash in a market where a refinance does not make sense. $2,500.00 MONTHLY INCOME$1,739.50 MONTHLY EXPENSES$760.50 MONTHLY CASH FLOW2.41% PRO FORMA CAP RATE$9,126.00  NOI$295,800.00 TOTAL CASH NEEDED3.09% CASH ON CASH ROI4.56% PURCHASE CAP RATEAfter Repair Value $379,000.00I will Sell the Property in year 3-5 years with a $92k-$139k in profit. 

These last 2 questions defy logic in my mind, but some developers have built strip centers this way. 2.
