I recommend dropping your price (not your standards) and renting it for a shorter term to get through the winter months, then look for a one-year lease again in the spring.If money is tight, you may consider selling.

They are just like you: working jobs, parents, side hustling, wearing sandals, and driving a Prius.

We are in inspection negations and have agreed to a seller credit of $7,500 for tuck pointing work (max 3% of purchase price).

We went to assess it and in the morning we texted them that we are calling for an exterminator.

Quote from @Shannon L Fogarty: Have a scenario that we are curious about what the answer is. 

We also tried out REI Blackbook but not did not like it because was pretty clunky and hard to figure out.Now, being that we are not real estate specific, we have a general contracting business in Chicago; we have a pretty robust system built out in HubSpot, which we LOVE and definitely allows room for more growth!

You wear two hats, you’re the employee so IRS allows elective deferral (just like your current w-2 401k) up to $23k or $30,500 if over 50 AND the employer so you can also make profit sharing contributions of 20% if profit or 25% if gross payroll.  

We are probably ideal candidates for 1031 into DSTs.

They even have very tight rules as to what our assistants can and can't do, such as if I were to hire a non-licensed secretary or whatever.

Right now we are not selling anything or cashing out that equity - if anything I would look to acquire a property and find a HML that would cross collateralize one of my other assets so I don’t have to sell it but use it as collateral.
