By the way, I've got a pending colleague request out to you.  

I understand your planning on putting your rent in  escrow  pending repairs, but that's really not necessary.

This of course is a very easy answer when the tenant's lease is still pending for a longer period, so you'll have to evaluate what the opportunity cost is of each option.

Do not use any weasel clauses like need "pending partners approval" or "pending financing approval"These things just give real wholesalers bad raps and is the primary reason some states are cracking down on it.Before you start marketing for properties I recommend you find a serious cash buyer.  

Redfin says it's pending since October, did that fall through?

Instruct your agent to tell all showing agents that you have pending full price offers on the table and to bring their best asap if interested.

Examples:A colleague of mine just completed a flip at 4134 3rd Ave S ($78k purchase price, currently pending in the mid-160s)I recently bought the house next door at 4142 3rd Ave S ($101k purchase price, rented for $1150/mo)A client of mine recently bought 4511 2nd Ave S (a small MFR with a 2/1 single family and a 1/1 apartment) for $143k.Another client of mine recently bought 3544 6th Ave S for $68k.

Thanks for all your input on this topic, but I need to get "into the weeds" on this issue because I have a pending scenario.

This just motivates me to try harder and have several deals pending at once so one won't seem so bad.....

If you look at everything in the neighborhood in your property's square footage/age/condition range that's sold in the last 6-12 months in the neighborhood, as well as every active and pending listing in the neighborhood, you (or a local broker that's competent at analyzing that sort of data) should be able to get a really good idea of what needs to happen to sell your house.
