Currently looking to sell my house and move to either NJ or PA to start real estate investment since the prices are relatively cheaper.

Like I said in a previous point, Sacramento landlords may hike up rents prior to the law taking effect, which would make Stockton a much cheaper alternative to Sacramento for renters.Second, Investors will also flock to Stockton since there won’t be any rent control, and compete with owner-occupants for housing… competition for housing = higher sales prices.BUT – that may put Stockton on the same path in a few years’ time once prices and rents catch up with Sacramento.

But if you like it, don’t move just to sell unless you want to hit the Pre - back to school market, but vegas has been so short of inventory for years I’m not sure that matters. but I also don’t think I’d sell it to buy something else unless it was cheaper and you has a use for the cash. 

You could probably do better buying some used wood sided foreclosures cheaper than you could have the work done.

The home is worth over $400,000 and I am looking to get it a little cheaper than that if I can but I also don’t want to feel like I am screwing over my family. 

Did US Bank tell you, or intimate that your current/new deal with them would have been easier, cheaper or faster if you'd had a 2-3 year relationship with them already, or are they doing the deal without a relationship about the same as if you'd had one?

Plus, they are often cheaper than a stand-alone cooktop.

Those new and expensive units will be the first ones people leave for something cheaper if they need to save money or for a bigger/better home and neighborhood,  depending on the individuals needs.  

Mudjacking is cheaper and not always more permanent.

Also for the people who bought several cheaper homes (50k and under) do you not worry about them being in bad areas and having bad tenants?
