-Sell the property and move on (but if I sell it, I imagine I need to find a tenant first to maximize the sales price...)Does anyone have any creative ideas of what I should consider doing with this property? 

I'm a new investor in the market, I'm looking for reliable GCs in the area!

@Tiffani HollisFor a long-term rental, I’d avoid used dishwashers entirely—repair costs and reliability issues often outweigh the savings.

If you and your fiance are willing to make a couple moves and remodels you could put yourself in a very strong cash position. 

However, anything that impacts functionality like plumbing, HVAC, or safety issues should be handled before listing to avoid turning off potential renters/buyers.If you’re re planning to lease it, tenants will expect everything to be move-in ready before signing.

Quote from @Jerry Maliszewski: According to Fannie Mae, 10 million people will be moving to the midwest by 2030 all seeking smaller downtowns. 

If you’re paying market value and they just have zero equity I guess you could argue you’re just giving them two years to move out.

I even put an offer in on a great BRRRR in Baltimore’s Patterson Park but was outbid, likely by an LLC that already has its own contractors ready to go.Crossing my fingers that all goes well in the inspection and I’ll move on to the next steps of property management. 

Would love any tips/advice to move forward!  

If anyone has any referrals of buyers moving between Destin & Pensacola FL send me a message!
