Your landlord could also allow the charges to compile until you leave, then deduct it from your deposit. 

A couple of things happened in the last few months including a lump sum pay out for a retirement from a company for whom I previously worked and I inherited a modest sum unexpectedly. 

On the other hand, you stated that the management firm was charging 15% and had a 15k expense. 

I do long-term room rentals (min 1 month lease).

And lastly, I search FunishedFinder listings nearby, find comparable properties, and track the listed rent for a few months (does it increase, decrease?).

You can always charge an air and surface scrubbing fee from their security deposit after they've moved out. 

@Austin TessMany lenders have a seasoning period (typically 6-12 months) before you can refinance.

Even if you believe you can stomach the monthly payments, paying $20K a year to carry a piece of land based on the information you shared is not recommended.

In my area they are charging $200 for inspections and $50 for cleaning.

We meet every month, and are in constant contact with these individuals, in business relationships going a lot deeper than that.The second way is to contact a large group of people with the understanding that only a few will result in “deals”.
