In the SF Bay Area, we have the following:(1) really, really rich people (including corporate/foreign buyers) - they buy what they want when they want to buy - mortgage rates be damned(2) really rich people - demand will typically correlate with the M&A/IPO market (3) rich people/trust fund types - demand will typically move with stock/public market(4) the house rich - massive equity build up in existing allows for a cash purchase or near all cash purchase - mortgage rates may matter but not too much (5) the high tech/professional income rich -  mortgage rate sensitive but not fatal to demand where two tech/professional incomes in the household coupled, possibly, with a nice loan from the parents (6)   normal people - these days, looking at Stockton, Redding, Boise, St.

@Bryan Zuetel you seem very sensitive.

You have a 3rd strategy if you want to use the property as a MTR (mid term rental) to medical professionals as Tampa has a plethora of hospitals and some of the best in the nation.

As for some background, Im 35 and Im a physician who finished subspecialty medical training a year ago.

And if you happen to land a travel medical professional who is working 12-hour shifts even better yet because they're gone half the day and sleeping the other half.

Our lot was a burn lot from the 2016 fires so we were pretty sensitive about fires.No one has complained about grilling a little further away from the house.

Colorado and Denver in specific have the benefits of not only having a major medical and travel professional demand but also the demand from digital nomads and others simply wanting to come and live here for a while. 

I love the idea of giving a bonus especially, after his medical issues we'd love to do that.

Lots of demand drivers in West Dallas.....one of the largest medical centers in the country is #1 transplant patients, long term medical care patients, residents, fellows, drs training in different disciplines like those at Scottish Rite......downtown Dallas #2....

Some areas may have rent stabilization ordinances, while others do not have any specific rent control laws.Given that this is a sensitive situation with a recent vacancy and upset tenant, it's important to approach the matter with transparency and clear communication.
