So, unless you want to sell out entirely, I think you are looking at a HELOC or 2nd mortgage as your way to harness some of that $100,000 in equity. 

Just morally bankrupt.But I think it just looks like that on the part of the contributors because some the regular contributors who have written here, especially the contractors, are trying to really hold back because this is a tragic situation and cursing what is obviously a tragic situation all around here won't help at all.My fat a** has never gone on a roof not strapped into a safety harness with an anchored safety rope. 

It's some of the most desirable real estate in the country and you can harness the equity to use as a down payment on your next property.

Outside the retirement plan we invest in real estate to harness the tax advantages.Passive investments that will qualify for 1031 treatment include1.

That is the greatest inventory level since July of 2020;Townhome/condominium sales experienced their fourth consecutive monthly decline, falling 17.6 percent, with the average price up 7.5 percent to $257,781 and the median price up 4.8 percent to $220,000.HAR Source

Hi @Dell Har,You can qualify for a mortgage (FHA or otherwise), but you'll have to find a lender that will serve foreign nationals as they take on extra risk as you are not a permanent resident. 

Per July's Housing stats from HAR, we now have 4 month's inventory (http://www.har.com/content/newsroom).

I've tried Zillow, HAR, Trulia and Realtor.com but none of them are really giving me anything solid to go off of.If anyone has any other method for pulling this info without MLS access I'd appreciate it.Thank you for the response

Harly,Welcome to BP.
