Thank you @Ned Carey That's all I needed to hear to put the final nail in the coffin.

Let’s just say as we head to Mexico for two months this winter, he has no regrets of finally doing it… lol Our current situation (studio in back yard) is the most lucrative I’ve ever done and the property has appreciated nicely in the five years we have owned it.

Property taxes are the final nail in the coffin.

Then a decision can be made whether or not to proceed based on the final approval. 

I would not cancel the deal- I would allow the seller to do his thing, then schedule a final walkthrough  and bring a 3rd party with me (contractor, handyman or inspector). 

On July 17, he had the following to say: “I believe current data are consistent with achieving a soft landing, and I will be looking for data over the next couple months to buttress that view…While I don’t believe we have reached our final destination [for inflation], I do believe we are getting closer to the time when a cut in the policy rate is warranted.”TP: Bird Words — When it comes to armed conflict, ‘hawks’ want war and ‘doves’ want peace.

Finally one day I saw the email I had been waiting for, I clicked.

Starting to see a lot of pent up demand that will likely boom when rates finally come down

Overnights are very very transient and come with unique challenges, think about these like a Motel 6, people arriving at all hours, tired, just need a place to crash as they make their way to their final destination.
