Since I need money yesterday I am contemplating selling.I have a $60,000 remaining balance on the mortgage and the comps are between $185-$200,000.My question is should I sell as is or try and get a hard money loan and update to maximize ARV?

Rents have remained steady for the past 12-18 months. 

Bookkeepers are not accountants after all.3) Remain independent of a CPA/office doing all the work monthly/quarterly etc, analyze my own books for profitability and next ventures, report the necessary information directly to accountant for end of year tax purposes. 

At the moment, I'm a bit stuck with 1 unit for my office/commercial flex space (purchased in Dec 2024) as despite some interest from a few potential tenants it remains vacant.

.💼 Labor Market Remains a Bit SoftUnemployment claims are holding steady, but continuing claims are still above 1.9M — signaling slower hiring.

Just got back from a trip overseas, and one thing remains clear, property management is universal. 🌍 Whether you’re managing a villa in the Caribbean or a condo in the States, the key to success lies in having the right systems, structure, and strategy in place. 

Most importantly, remain patient and persistent—success is a journey, not a destination.

I've spent the last 15 years serving in the Marine Corps, with just one year remaining before I'll get off active duty.

BUT, I don't want to lose out on rent for 2-3 months while I complete the rest of the work which would include: 1) a new front deck (replacing an older worn structure with a couple of flaws that are long term concerns; but still functional and safe now)-there remains an alternate entrance for tenants to use during this time.2) bathroom rehabs (2); both small rehabs but ones that today I'm not ready to get into due to limited availability of my time this fall3) kitchen cabinets and counter, sink rehab:These are all things that as a standard LIF, would be fairly easy to work around (kitchen being the obvious most intrusive).
