-While rent would be more expensive month by month, the idea of being able to take my equity out of my home and also being able to reduce annual repair costs, property taxes, etc. does seem appealing to me. 

In construction your plans are your Bible, so you need to know how to locate any discrepencies, locate answers to questions froms trades, understanding "Take-offs" with your materials, and be able to visualize in a 3D space what the plans are describing.

There are other ways to get your offer accepted that can be appealing to the buyers like non-refundable deposits, higher deposit amounts, shorter timelines and others.

Typically a furnished rental will appeal to someone coming to live in an area for a short to mid term period of time.

They don’t make sense visually.  

Selling to you could begin to feel like an appealing alternative to dealing with the hassle of re-renting the home.If they’re open to selling, you can share what you’d be willing to pay based on your research and pre-approval.

Love the curb appeal.

The property's expansive lot further heightens its appeal.

I was given the opportunity to appeal the decision, and provided proof of new ownership and property management, but Air BNB is maintaining their ruling to delete the listing for being duplicated. 

@Marcos De la CruzHave you ever appealed the property tax increases on your Dallas rental?
