I just want to make sure that’s correct from a federal student loan repayment perspective. 

@Matthew Ginsberg, I'm guessing the provider of the water and wastewater is a government entity that can lien your property if the bill goes unpaid.

Every $100k in gain up to the limits, $250k (if single) or $500k (if married) will save you $15k in federal taxes and I’m guessing $5-10k in state taxes?  

Navy Federal, as an example, needs a long time to close and requires tax returns, but has a 20 year draw and a 20 year payback period…takes much longer than others, but that payback period is amazing.  

To reiterate above, the variable rate is not the issue, it's the attempt at new terms with punishment attached if not accepted.FWIW, if I recall correctly from 5 years ago, my loan officer casually mentioned that the loan will be "in-house" which I understood him to mean is not a federally backed loan and they are lending directly, but I didn't ask for clarification.Maybe my loan address was included by mistake for this mailing because of that categorization, but still, gahh.

You may hear folks also say the phrase “no landing,” referring to the Federal Reserve being able to avoid a recession but inflation remains.

Where do you think housing would be had the government / fed intervention of 2020/21 never happened?  

Area of town can make a big difference on the type of residents that the property will attract and the level of work and risk involved in operating it over time.Sounds like it is an older property, which is okay, but increasingly lead paint, asbestos, etc. are concerns to residents and government regulators. 

Know your local laws and the federal laws.
