Most of them won't issue the loan if its a small amount though so be mindful of that. 

Let’s start a list of issues with the property it self and how we fixed them:1.

It could be many other issues as well.

They had issues performing because they didn't underwrite expenses correctly and as a result they ended up carrying alot of debt and losses.

First-time poster long-time reader here.In short: My husband and I finally pulled the trigger on our first Flip investment here in the Tampa area.

We’ve had cash offers 15-20k over asking with escalation clauses on our flips.

The clients I've worked with had issues with parties for their larger homes and ended up leaning towards traditional rentals or mid-term.

Been a Special Education teacher for 25 years- trying to retire and have studied real estate investing... realize I cannot do my own flips after buying my forever home after the hurricane... but that is a different story!

Coupled with the fact that you believe there might be a chance you will need to come back to the Bay Area and that the slight negative cash flow is not an issue for you, you should just hold on to the property.

Look out for probable markets taking into account issues revolving around employment opportunities, population shifts, tendencies in renting out homes coupled with economic stability.
