And I do agree that with professional sports, income is not stable unless you are at the highest levels and you get millions of dollars in a contract that is fixed on a given amount of years.  

BUT, if you  are 18 months into a 5 year PPP that would cost you 4% of 400k or 16,000 dollars to refi.

My guests from there are typically older, but higher dollar reservations.

It takes me less than an hour to file the protests online, ZERO dollars. 

The cash-out refi necessarily means thousands of dollars in additional expenses - likely setting you back further than you went forward in mortgage pay down during the same time period if refinancing in 1-2 years - but hopefully earning more equity in the meantime (fingers crossed).  

It's a fixer upper but not too much room for big repair dollars given comps so would want to get some concession on purchase price if possible.Thanks!

Meaning, they are not willing to:- sell their property off market- go into contract with a wholesaler- sell their property for a discount (i.e. they want 'top dollar')In cases like these, an agent can still assist the homeowner by helping them sell the traditional way.That said, wholesaling can be lucrative so I echo the advice you've received here - get out there and speak to people in the industry who are willing to share helpful information.All the best!

There was thousands of dollars being dished out and I just rather put the money in other investments.

Quote from @V.G Jason: Quote from @Chris Seveney: @V.G JasonI saw today that 30% of jobs now in this country are federal government or government contractorsWe cannot live off trillions of dollar deficits every year - employment is actually negative this year without the government.People lose jobs = cannot pay homes = homes get sold at discount = reset appraisals / lending… You're not wrong, just the sold at discount part I think the floor is going to be higher than people think.

Perhaps you could better show your workstation (desk and chair), as well as board games and curated books if you have such (highly recommend you get and show some if not).Your photos look good but I think the right photographer could make the place pop a lot more, for just a couple hundred dollars.
