@Joseph MuleroTo boost your rent plan and make more money in the medium-length rent market, think about these steps: slowly add furniture to the new place while you stay in your current home, pick cheap furniture, use a credit card with good terms, look into loan options like personal loans or home equity credit lines, try out the market by listing the place with few furniture pieces, aim for easy-to-change furniture for flexibility, and talk to pros like real estate agents or home decorators.

Of course, if the lien is filed after we get a prelim but prior to close, we'll pick it up on the date down which would delay the close, but not leave me stuck.

The YouTube gurus make it sound like it’s as easy as picking up a property over the counter and selling it on Craigs List.
