I will add that buying in the path of progress helps...desirable areas in growing cities adjacant to the areas that have already taken off.

@Kevin Orellana do you like the asset; is it in a neighborhood that you are proud to own it, do you see it continuing to be a desirable place to live? 

Live in new home while it appreciates for 10 years until I get a faculty housing spot, sell private market house, put proceeds (minus downpayment) in bank for retirement (I estimate this will be 1.3 mil before capital gains and real estate fees based on 7% growth in a very desirable Southern California location), and take out new loan for lower cost faculty housing.

One applicant mentioned their desired move-in date in 9 months in the future but that move-in date is way too far from our earliest move-in date (2 months from now). 

An online lead capture form is presented on your website and allows potential cash buyers to submit their own contact information if they desire to be added to your buyers list.

I would just feel like a dead weight and once they has the info they could ghost me. 

Just because you have the desire and the money to rent a house within walking distance to the stadium or bars, doesn't necessarily mean that you'll find one.

Think about desirable areas, and buy just outside of it?

This should transfer the weight of the room to the new support as the seasons change.  

Additionally, I strategically positioned the condo as a desirable rental option in Uptown Charlotte, capitalizing on its prime location to maximize rental income and overall property value.
