I like the pool bench seating, nice touch. 

What can be the disadvantage to keep it aggregated in the coming years?

And if one thinks to go Ag side, now we got Bezos, Gates and "Zuck" gobbling everything up at prices nobody can touch. 

Some people think it's easy and claim it only takes them a couple of hours a week, some people wouldn't touch it with a 6-ft pole.)Now let's look at the acquisition cost or capital cost: if you buy the $500k house with a mortgage with a 20% down payment, your monthly payment will be about $2700. 

That takes time but gives you more advantages than cold touch-and-go solutions.

I also got in touch with  Murthy Chintalapati, seems like a scam.

Quote from @Greg Strunak: Hey everyone,I'm going through a divorce and trying to figure out the best way to keep my Airbnb property.

Hi @Nicholas L. and @Chris Seveney a few weeks after my post, they did a part 2 for the survey and 2 days ago, the Zoning Dept. emailed out an update for the proposed policies.Here's their message:"We want to keep you informed and share a preview of the proposed Short-Term Residential Rental Ordinance regulations and express our gratitude for your invaluable feedback and participation in Phase I and Phase II of the Alexandria Short-Term Residential Rental Study.

I own a TH with a HOA but so far have been unaffected....though I am wondering do I keep holding or sell?

Since your goal is appreciation, keeping it vacant for months just to wait for spring may not be the best move.
