How is the house hack working out for you?

Move out on or before (lease termination date).

Great agents might follow up on this, and 1 out of 100 lenders share some of the info with both agents, but that is rare.I guess as a FSBO you could try to prompt it. 

I’d appreciate any guidance or tips to get started on the right path.

The cap rate is one tool among many and this one is really only able to give an apples-to-apples comparison about the sale price across multiple commercial properties.

Check their occupancy, nightly rate and amenities.

You’ve gained valuable experience from your first duplex and are now approaching real estate with a strategic mindset

So unless you had a better deal that could offer better returns that this house then I would not sell.

I'm interested in hearing experiences on what companies or custodians work best, what pitfalls to watch out for, and any red flags during the process.

I learned this when I bought 12 new builds for GOZONE tax bene's really nice brick homes in best part of town but values just did not rise enough so by the time i had to change everything out and pay sales commish it was break even at best..
