Hurricane Milton recently caused widespread flooding, yet this house remained unaffected.

How big is the house?

They will tear your houses up man lol.

If you decide to keep your house, you can do an IRRRL after you have made at least 7 payments on your new mortgage.

No, I do not think that there will be a housing crash or a massive drop, nationwide, in rents and prices.

My daughter and grandkids would get the house. 

Quote from @Jeff Calcaterra: We have a potential tenant new to the area who has gone through a paid background check, signed a background check authorization form, sent us a LinkedIn profile, sent an offer letter and says he is willing to send us paycheck stubs, but says he doesn't want us to call HR to verify employment because he is supposed to have found housing already.

I feel like the seller would wait and I could just buy it in cash since I do plan to refinance it anyway and pull out the equity once I’ve done some repairs/upgrades.

If at one time the house had gas heat it may still be rated as gas.

My wife and I purchased a home at the very beginning of 2022 and "house-hacked."
