I would keep as a rental and try to acquire a portfolio of rentals that will cash flow and your tenants will pay off for you.If you do sell, utilize a 1031 exchange to postpone indefinitely paying any capital gains tax.That savings account is the worst place to park your money.

The meetup was actually postponed:( I’m looking forward to making it to another in the future. 

Potential brain damage is a valid reason to postpone :) (She ended up being fine).Get ideas and all that, but just try.

Anyway, after a lot of fighting and postponing closing, e-mails, etc., they finally corrected the points and gave the credit.

I had to postpone closing because I didn't have the funds.I was approved for a primary and construction loan that were rolled into 1 note.

I also have read in various places that the crazy NY publishing requirements for LLC formation can be ignored or postponed to speed up LLC transfer, and then applied retroactively by publishing at any time in the future if necessary. 

We can always meet up another time but we can never get our safety and life back.This meetup is postponed until further notice.

Or, is it better to buy lower for a property that needs more work, but cash flow is postponed until renovations are finished?

Each time a seller (be it a builder, flipper, or home owner) brings a request to postpone closing for a non-contract-specified reason it opens the door to a renegotiation. 

I've postponed the appointment and will be speaking with the Building Department as soon as possible.
