After sitting vacant for a while I'm entertaining the option of converting to residential units.

Wanting money for doing nothing or asking for a commitment fee.Not to say that all lender who do this are a scam, but why would you entertain it.  

Thanks Sarah, I don’t see much house hacking going on in Essex or Dundalk in terms of listings on Zillow or FB so my concern would be finding professional adult roommates that want to house share in that area. i’ve been following a lot of the midterm rental groups in Facebook and the consensus is that contracts have decreased significantly and hospitals are using more local labor pools.

It's a sad state but most of the adult population does not do it.   

This is why so many people earn large sums of money quickly (lottery, sports, entertainment, etc.) and end up broke.Take Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University.

To me:  OTM is an entertaining news show when it’s Kathy, Dave, Henry, and James discussing headlines.

It sounds like the Seller does not want to commit until he knows the deal will go through, and until that time, he wants to be able to entertain other offers. 

We have adult kids.

Hi Ethan, I would not entertain the idea of getting more money from this tenant in order to potentially increase your cash flow. 

@Amir PortalFort Worth (Southside): Affordable entry points with growing rental demand due to development and school proximity.Arlington: A solid mix of price points and strong rental potential, especially near UT Arlington or entertainment districts.Focus on areas with rising population growth, job opportunities, and low vacancy rates.
