This is one way to manage costs risk.The ways to own the property besides FHA & conventional loans is with private loans, investor DSCR loans (non owner occupied); seller financing, lease options, partnering with others to take the property down..... 

Try networking locally with real estate groups, investor groups, rental owner associations, a local REI, etc. 

This was a poorly timed purchase at full retail so it likely is worse than virtually every other San Diego RE investor’s monthly appreciation. 

Several of my investor clients have dealt with similar situations in North Carolina, and here’s my take based on those experiences.First, you’re right about the legal framework: NC landlords must make reasonable efforts to re-rent the property, but tenants remain liable for the rent until a new tenant is found.

I do not care what the source of the return is  Historically the highest return is via a value add and appreciation and is more so recently due to the recent rate increase versus earlier this century (before 2022).However, most new RE investors cannot handle extended periods of large negative cash flow.  

That’s the kind of agent you want in your corner, especially in a competitive market like San Antonio.While I haven’t worked with him directly, I’ve spoken with an investor friend who did.

I'm an investor here in Columbus OH myself and have seen the city's solid and steady growth with strong economic fundamentals driving the market like major companies moving here (Meta, Intel, Google, Amazon, etc), job growth, and population growth.

Young investor gang!

Hi everyone I'm new to the Dallas County investment sceneI'm sure there are a lot of serious investors here in BP with experience who would gladly help with mapping the area to know which neighborhoods match the strategy.I focused on two main strategies- Fix and Flip and BRRRRso cash flow and appreciation need to work together.appreciate your insights and helpgod bless you all
