Do you want a 5% return or an 8% return.Second - determine what the rate of return will be from ownership of this property(Both cash-flow and appreciation).Is the second number larger than the first number?

Unlike banks, which offer limited loan options, brokers have access to a wide network of lenders, including niche and non-traditional financing sources.Here’s what they do:Assess your financial situation to determine your borrowing power.Compare multiple loan products to find the most favorable terms.Negotiate rates and terms with lenders on your behalf.Guide you through the application process, ensuring you meet all requirements.Example: Suppose you have a lower credit score or unconventional income sources.

Similarly, the sale ($575K) minus your adjusted basis determines your capital gain.You may qualify for the primary residence exclusion (up to $250K single/$500K married) if you lived there 2 of the last 5 years.

Then you can determine if you made a profit, loss or broke even.Determining your sales price can only be determined by the market. 

Determine the price that attracts the investor, stop the bleeding and and move on.
