If you’re 50 or older a defined benefit plan can allow you to contribute $250,000 + per year tax deferred.  

The pros to them are vast though, no cap on how many mortgages you hold, they don't show up on your credit report, the closings are quicker, the rates are competitive, we only require a soft credit check, no tax returns or employment requirements, and the seasoning periods a very short.

Maintenance Costs are Too HighThe cost of maintaining a rental property—especially an older building—can make selling it a viable option.

All in all, the home is older but that is standard for the neighborhood and I have a solid amount of equity in the home currently.Recently, my dad said he is retiring and moving out of California. 

I was just reading some older posts on the topic and people were saying they're only getting about 2% option fee.

From my experience, most people don’t pay much attention to their tax rate until it’s tax season, but a small percentage are proactive and keep track throughout the year.

Searching to see if any lenders are doing a cash-out with no seasoning period. 

The rental market does seem volatile, with the higher prices only supported in the high season (may-sept lease start).

I’d also recommend looking into off-season demand, as coastal markets can fluctuate.

If you're worried about the seasonality of the Dells area and filling vacancies during "off times" aka winter.
