Hey @Tom Dieringer, so the Expedia Group has a market cap of 21+ billion so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

Any development work they've done on the property also becomes your property.If the property becomes yours, you could try to sell it back to them quickly and below market for a nice profit.

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

Do you have any projections for what will happen with the insurance market for this year, or is it even possible to project? 

At that time I will get the house cleaned up and list it on the market and when it sells I've agreed to get reimbursed my costs for reinstatement plus any other costs plus a fee for my efforts.

Fairbanks offers a unique market with its own set of considerations.

Welcome Steve, What market are you in?

Coffered ceilings, low corner additions etc.Anyone can slap lipstick on a pig, looking for high value add in high demand markets is where the $ is.

Of course, that opens up a whole new can of worms RE the tax implications of having the in-laws live at below-market rents in one of our properties.  

At that price point marketing is not really a thing.
