Is this ultimately a land play? 

I’m currently going through the process of getting a HELOC and feel confident we’d be able to fund a purchase using that but using PML has ultimately been a goal of mine and would like to incorporate it into one of these purchases if possible. 

I would lean towards recommending that you pursue the deal - plus having the property remain in your family may be a net positive for you and your extended family regardless of the ultimate financial return. 

Ultimately the pictures combined with the location are what sells it.You want to avoid HOAs at all costs.

Most of us have passions that will never be followed, amazing businesses or ideas that will never be pursued… unless we can solve the Cash-Flow Freedom Equation, which ultimately leads to Time-Freedom.

I was definitely on the fence about this one for a little while before making the purchase, but there were a number of attractive features that ultimately led me to move forward with the purchase.

Even though your Realtor might be good and helpful their ultimate goal is to get the house sold and no one will see the vision you have set for yourself, in the same light that you will.

I realize not everyone believes in paying for a coach and sometimes they get a bad rep, but ultimately, some people want to do it.

(If not, then you should, IMHO)We're all in sales ultimately, and keeping potential business associates on a marketing list is our lifeline.Also, if you were "politely told" that it's not a great fit - how is this a problem? 

It's the ultimate win/win.
