Then the tenants pay more of the mortgage, I have less of my personal equity locked into non-cash flowing Portland homes, and I have more properties that will appreciate.

When I found the water meter locked I contacted the government owned utility and explained the tenant, who had contracted for the service, had left and the utility immediately had the lock removed and restored the service.I am amazed!

The 6 month timeline would be 3 months of rehab, 1-2 months of placing a tenant, and the last 1-2 months locking in a refinance. 

TLDR: lock up my available cash in seller financing for more cash flow faster?

We were thinking of first purchasing a house in TX to lock in the low rates and the dipping home prices and then moving there after a couple of years.

We buy keypad locks for around $100 a piece.

so this will be state specific. 2. there could be a semi flood of those in foreclosure prior to the moratorium and those break loose as soon as the moratorium is over and the counties resume post covid lock downs3.

@Moises R Cosme you have some excellent points and those are why I usually avoid getting involved with residential condos myself.However @Carrie Benoit was asking about retail condos so they are meant to be leased to small businesses and the comparison to SFs or MFs isn't really a good one.Basically, these are the small-medium size store fronts you often see at the ground level of busy foot-traffic areas.At this point (in the pandemic) it's much more about whether you think retail is a good risk or not, since we don't really know what foot traffic is going to be like, whether we'll have another lock down, etc.I don't have any direct experience with retail condos though I have run across them a few times in my travels.

OR you will be locked into longer seasoning periods to cashout refi (most likely 6+ months). 

Hi @Sergio Ferreira,Thanks for posting in the forums.However, we do not allow self-promotion, and posts looking for real estate agents tend to generate a lot of self-promotion from the agents on the site.We've locked this thread so it doesn't get filled with these posts.
