I am sure there are things about your husbands life you found odd or unsettling, explain that real estate is also an important part of your life. 

For context, the realtor had said nobody has been staying there since October (it is now June), but it is still an unsettling possibility that it could happen again.

If you guys are seriously considering Ai for Sales Comps Analysis/Market Analysis/etc, you are using Ai wrong and are either just unaware or cognitively dissonant of the pitfalls.

The market is normalizing which in the short term can feel a little unsettling, but given run-up of past couple of years, some normalization is needed.

Google cognitive dissonance and you'll understand the true agenda for their presentation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance"The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, [or perceived new information, which is neither new nor informative] wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort."

I find it interesting that nobody really crunches the actuall numbers in Real Estate which I think is part of the cognitive dissonence we practice in order to make our investments look a little better.No 1031:Purchase: 120k, Sold 330k = 210k in just equityGross Rent: 220k - 60k expenses - 15k taxes = 145k <-- actual rental income$210k (equity) + 145k (rent) = 355k i.e. 355k -30k(closing) -50k(taxes) -25k(renovation) -14,500(recapture) = $245k=245k profit (including all rental income, tax deductions and appreciation.So if you had a mortgage, you would subtract the 145k in rental income and add 30k in principal.
