Will end up costing around $120,000 once tile is set, bathrooms and kitchens installed, and custom cabinets/Doors/ and furniture are built; windows installed. 

If you have the capital, then it would be best to try to force some equity or buy at a discount and refiance.

I will ask if there would be a discount for better accounting on my part. 

A few of them seem somewhat spammy to me (e.g. people constantly posting about properties they're selling at a discount) and not much helpful advice. 

Sounds like this is at a discount.

I would certainly try to rent it, even at a discounted rate, until the next school cycle. 

Looking for guidance on options. new builds aren't hard to finance and I would argue they are preferred to existing fix and flip loans, especially if you have experience. banks look at your experience, your builder's experience, loan structure, permits, etc you need to get an experienced builder familiar with advanced underwriting and negotiations with local, regional, and national lenders. in columbus we do ground up construction for clients at a 20% discount so they can BRRRR out of the new build with equity and we have pages and pages of data on what we build and why and it's all supported by market statistics. 

I have a stunning 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 4,300-square-foot single-family home in Cleveland, MS, that I’m looking to sell.

At times you can find discounts in marketing to this niche. 

For 2025 we are assuming it will rise at $1500-1600Same townhomes pending at $260’s; if we upgrade kitchen/bathroom around $275 upCurrent tenant leaves Dec 31, 2024 Assuming rent stays the same for LTR, we will be cashflow negative since Home/Hazard Insurance and Taxes will increase inevitably.Should we:1.
