Holding an asset long term... well people have a lot of finance talk about appreciation, unrealized gains, equity.. a lot of that is true and valid.

This either sounds like a seller looking to "retire" and liquidate his holdings or a Section 8 owner that hasn't kept the property (or rents) up to market levels.So, based on the numbers you're using, what return (IRR, Equity Multiple, or ConC) are you estimating you'll generate over your expected holding period?

Long term hold, with buyer planning on carrying existing financing to term without the ability to quickly cure default — terrible strategy with huge risk for both parties.   

And people think Ai is going to replace accountants.one can argue that apartments.com is just a processing the payment and not actually holding the funds to transfer out.If apartments.com all of a sudden reverses the payment for insufficient funds?

Many times they will hold back the renovation costs in escrow and release once you’ve shown the renovated unit and leased it.  

What are the costs for the value adds, the expected hold time, and the expected sale price? 

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off. 

BUT, I am sick living in construction and would like to move to a new home and then finish fliping and sell or hold the two homes asap.
