Below are a few ideas to think about.Appraisal Concerns: Include a clause in the counteroffer to address any potential gap if the appraisal comes in lower than the offer price.Closing Costs: If the requested $10k seems high, propose a lower amount or adjust the sale price to cover some of these costs.Escrow Deposit: Counter with a higher deposit to ensure buyer commitment.Financing Contingency: Make sure there's a clause that protects you if the buyer’s financing falls through.VA Requirements: Understand and prepare for the specific requirements and inspections associated with VA loans.Professional Advice: Consult with a real estate agent or legal professional for tailored advice.Communication: Maintain open communication with the buyers for a smooth negotiation process.Best of luck with your sale,KC

Oh, let me count the reasons, stark and clear,Why in the Rockies, dreams might disappear.Firstly, time's dance, a tango unforeseen,Delays and setbacks, patience in between.Secondly, budgets shift in mountain air,A treacherous venture, costs rise with care.Like winds that howl, a financial plight,Draining pockets in the mountain's height.Thirdly, expertise, a crucial call,A craft refined to prevent the fall.In rocky realms, build cautiously,For seasoned skill shall guide to victory.Oh, let me count the ways, with wisdom's might,To pause the dream, build in clearer light.Where were you CountTheWaysGPT when I needed you?

Investing in real estate out of state can be a profitable venture, but it requires careful planning and execution to minimize risks and maximize returns.

My vote would be for family or close friends who you know and respect from earlier than your current venture.  

If it is questioned you just need to be prepared to show that you haven't changed occupancy intent as a second home.
