My rental condo in Asheville, NC was spared damage from the flood, but when the city finally turned the water back on a few days ago, they somehow overpressurized and blew out a fitting inside a wall. 

It's always worth comparing rates and terms, as some lenders might be more aggressive with loan-to-value ratios, depending on the location and property condition.

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

PMs can minimize their suffering from unrealistic expectations by showing comparable properties that are on the market for rent and having a discussion with the landlord as to how their property compares and how his property can be more attractive to renters.Landlords are running a business. 

You shouldn’t have to go to a second platform to verify a booking.I’m happy to jump on a call to review your current occupancy compared to the market, as well as “the anatomy of a statement.”

There are 85% LTV DSCR loans but expect a higher rate-sometimes 1% higher for the same borrower profile compared to a 80% LTV.

The Northeast and Midwest are expected to be less affected by the oversupply compared to the Sun Belt and luxury properties.

Does it need to be market rent and comparable to the other offices with tenants? 

I would compare it to you or the Seller buying down the rate permanently.

I’d suggest you dig into the numbers, compare it to what a regular sale would give you, and talk to someone who specializes in this type of deal.
