Quote from @Rose Jones: Your interest rate should be higher than 6 percent.

All major metros witnessed increases in DOM, notably Houston (50 days) and Dallas (49 days), which rose by seven and four days, respectively.

As such prices rose. 5% rates would do the same.

Moreover, if the HOA goes up again next year, your loss is only going to get bigger.If you can sell your home for more than what you paid for it and you're not taking a loss, I'd consider selling it if I were in your shoes.

I want to be ask specific as possible (I’m literally making a sheet of questions to take with me as I speak to them) if you guys were in my shoes starting out, what would you make sure I add to this sheet?

I tried to fit in a shoe that was too big for me.

I guess at this level he will make money selling a hat to a headless person or a pair of running hi-tech pair of shoes to a person in a wheel chair. 

Hey Rose!

@Angelica Rose - you can definitely break even or better househacking.

I understand your pain, and several years ago, I was in your shoes.
