and yes if the buyer wanted this property.. the second they got the counter and if it was acceptable they should have signed it.. then get it acknowledged and then they are in escrow... if they wanted out I am sure there was a due diligence period.. this is the type of mistake folks only make once its a learning curve however the buyers agent should have told the buyer they risk losing it by sitting on the contract to the very last second. this is why in hot markets you see sellers and buyers make offers with ONLY hours to repond.. offer comes in at 1pm and they require a response by 5pm.. giving days to respond is nice but it does set you up for what exactly happened

I plan to live in the property for the time being with roommates and then eventually will turn it into a rental so I want the numbers to work on it for a rental.I think the house is below market value here, things are hot so I think $120,000- $130,000 or more might be needed as a bid to get the place.  

The front range of Colorado including the Fort Carson area has been a very hot market so appraisal timelines have been lengthened in general, but this is especially true with VA appraisals because the appraiser has to have special certifications to do a VA appraisal and the VA appraisal has more stringent standards than a conventional.

It would be a pretty useful metric to use to evaluate how 'hot' the rental market is for a particular area.

Is it time to "cash out" while the market is hot, or continue to hold these for cashflow?

October is right around the corner, time for those Hot Air Balloons!

I usually look at the age of the roof, hot water heater,  furnace, etc.
