CoC just about breaks even if I assume rents are on the higher end of the spectrum.My questions are: 1.

It will come back, and it will go even higher.

You can find higher ROI (on paper) here and probably in other cities…but the probability of actually collecting rent significantly decreases.

Higher/equal offers with no concessions needed, All cash offers, Offers with 20%+ down payments, etc.All the best!

Could you get a higher rent for your current home?

If the location is an A but the tenant paying higher rent was a B or a C then replacing the location with an A tenant at slightly less rent in some cases you can actually increase the value.Example if you had an (A) location QSR but tenant was Burger King franchisee and they went out the Burger King might sell at 7 cap.

we run all heat pump appliances so our bill is higher than most.

Your chances of success will be much higher in the best locations because the high demand of people wanting to live there combined with high appreciation potential will make up for the inefficiencies and risks of operating remotely.

Risk is higher.

There might be other offers at asking price, or even higher.
