If you really want to supplement your income, my thought would be to take out a HE loan (or some other 2nd position loan) and use that to fund a down payment on a property.

If you can hold on till first part of January the showings and everything else should pickup.This would be my action items: 1. hire a new agent that can sell the place, and get you numbers are rent and selling and sell the place. 2. be honest on the numbers you can get on an ARV so that you can sell it 3. start to get the conversation started with a couple lenders on what these numbers on refi would look like for you and this property 4. my suggestion would be to refi/rent before selling at a loss because if numbers work you can hold for a couple years then sell, but this is dependent on your cash position and liquidity of your situation.

If you have it in emails etc. you could have a position - but as another poster mentioned, giving up $100 a month in rent to only paint two rooms is very very generous so I can see how they thought there would be more rooms involved.
