Unless you have buyer-in-hand or some other mission (e.g. subsidized housing or religious-based motives), I seriously think the risks are way more substantial than most people could handle.

My guess is that if you only took the cash from your sale and bought a property for cash you'd still have substantial tax savings.

(Opportunity cost).when i was finally in a position to purchase more houses the prices were substantially higher.

You would have lot of negotiation later on with buyer.If discount is substantial I am not afraid buying home with roof issue or lien, that's easy to solve when you have the cash.

The only solution: jackhammer and remove the slab over the line, dig out old the line and install a new one, backfill it, re-pour the demo'd slab, and re-finish a substantial portion of the basement...needless to say, we got some real concessions from the seller before closing (to offset not just the cost of the new line, but also the downtime, holding cost, and vacancy that had to happen while the line was being replaced).I never buy a property without doing a scope (and it's saved me many tens of thousands of dollars, and major headaches).Good luck out there!

Even looking at the balanced rate (which I feel like is hard because the terms are different) along with the potential to have the monthly payment/fees covered, it feels like a cash out is a better option if we did want to keep this.Part of the current struggle is that the market was hit harder from the rate increase so sales are almost at a standstill and even with trying to sell the house, the rental market is doing substantially better because most military cannot afford to purchase in this area as the payments are over 6k/mo for buying vs 3-4k/mo for renting.Any advice is most appreciated!

Agreed the odds of them wanting to resign after the renovations that would substantially increase the rent is low. 

I just got off the phone with Skyler and I'm really interested in taking the leap. $5,500 is quite a lot so I'm trying to review as many legitimate reviews and testimonials as I can to make sure that it makes sense for me and my situation.I know that I learn and apply myself best when I'm given straightforward instructions, a guide, clear direction, and skin in the game.I'll bump this up to see if there have been any new updates or developments in regards to the Wholesaling Inc program
