Buying a primary residence requires the lowest down payment and will get you the lowest available interest rate.If you don’t want to move again then your next best option might be to buy a new or almost new single family home in a fringe area like casa grande for $300k.

We are remodeling the home one room at a time.

There was also some minor damage: handful of nail holes in every room, their cat scratched up some of the trim, a bunch of dings/gouges around the doorways and in the bedrooms, marker stains on the bedroom wall.More significant damages: The tenant put glow stars up in the kids bedroom.

Nothing more needed to be done in those rooms.

I was just reading in Docusign and in Mexico, Docusign gas a wisird where you can close everything with digital signatures there ar is a certain procedure but the notary will get in one of the room or conference and be done.

Remodeled every room in the house.

In Miami a client has a “play room” that we list on KinkBnb.. 

It's almost as much as renting a 3/2 on a monthly basis for one room with a bed and a kitchenette.

Pressure on rent's has long been here, we had a first inflation surge, now we have basis pressure pressing ALL landlords, including those hold-out's, to elevate which moves the basis up-up-up, relieving downward pressures which, gives more room for upward pressures to be realized/relieved. 

@Leo GregoireTo answer your question directly about cash for keys:In rent-controlled states like California, you can sometimes pay 10 to 20 grand a door to get them out.I have never had to go this route before.
