Two days later when I texted her if she heard from the sellers she told me the seller was not going to contemplate anything less than asking price and was giving me and the other people who submitted the offers one more chance to come back with best and highest offer.

The conservative part of my brain tells me to get rid of this property as it is one less thing to worry about with all these other things going on.Basically, I am contemplating whether it is worth holding on to this property with hopes it's value increases like it has over the past 2-3 years or if I sell it for cash flow to put to better use in other real estate ventures.

Make sure you fully understand the area you are contemplating investing in first.

My husband and I are contemplating the same question for a potential investment townhome. 

How many brokers would you interview and how far in advance of contemplating a sale would you do so?

I've contemplated such an idea, but I don't believe that we should play judge and jury on who is an expert on something; that is up to you -- just as in the real world, you must do your due diligence.Someone on the site can have a very high influence score, but may not necessarily be an expert investor.

I'm not contemplating litigating model #'s, etc., just getting the most I can out of the situation (without being ridiculous).

Like stated earlier i was contemplating on being an agent while still on active duty(I do know someone that has done this) and this will help me gain a better understanding of real estate in general that way i have a leg to stand on when going into deals etc.

If you can;t afford an attorney opinion, you can get free answers from your state regulatory agencies that govern the activties contemplated.

I know she just threw in the washer problem just for good measure.Every other circuit must have had you wondering.I was contemplating fixing the water heater (people said it had a burned out element).
