I know I could look to refi to get the equity out but then I would loose the 3.8%.

It seems as though a lot of these rules are loosely enforced?

That being said, I think you have a lot of planning to do and loose ends to tie up.

Both are great strategies but you do need to be able to navigate them correctly otherwise, you could loose that 100k real quick. 

You might loose a little money but you would have lost more from this one sided deal anyway. 

The combination of Al wire and an FPE panel is especially concerning because Al wire is more likely to have a loose connection that will overheat to a temp that can cause combustion, and the FPE panel has a high chance of not tripping when that happens in order to prevent that overheating from continuing.

If you can go for a year and not loose money you should be able to sleep soundly at night. 

Having seen hundrets of homes, haveing been through hundrets of inspection, have dealt with all the issues and then looking at your deal through that lense.An attorney won't be able to tell you fair market value or know how to navigate a cometitive bidding situation without loosing your shirt. 

Cape Coral has a very loose 7-day minimum stay that isn't heavily enforced.
