I'm very bullish on its future for real estate.

Laminate flooring in main areas with carpet in the bedrooms. 4 bedroom, 2 full baths, and the basement will have a full bath roughed in as well as a wet bar rough in. 1 egress window in the basement for a future bedroom.

Will refinance if rates go down in the future. 

Hopefully we will be managing a handful of other STRs in the same market in the future.

You can probably find info about rents on dubizzle.com, but you will have to dig some more to find the expenses.My prediction for the Dubai market is that it will continue to correct further for the foreseeable future.

Letting someone out of the lease is not the same as nullifying that the lease ever occurred; it is just an agreement that you won't go after any additional months of future rents that would otherwise be owed.

- Regardless of sale now or a 1031 sale in future years, I would like to take the equity into new real estate opportunities. 

Does not affect your debt to income for future loans in the mortgage industry (auto loans could look different, but i would think similar so hopefully no worries there). 

Over the years every single time I went over his house to hang out we would talk about money, investing and the future we were building.

The electrical panel is original, so an upgrade might be needed in the future.
