- Renting it Out: The likely rent I'd get in this area will cover half my mortgage payments at the moment- Add Square Footage: Taxes will likely go up significantly- Build an ADU: Overall ROI will likely not offset much since it'll still be counted as value tied to the one house- Selling Off Land: Sits on .5 acre that I might be able to sell.

I saw this for sell by owner on Craig's List.

You used to be able to sell turnkey properties for very nominal fees (1% listing fee if sold) via Roofstock with Stessa a couple of years ago.

Typically, furnished rentals are for shorter term stays, so the tenant is most likely going to be able to deal with whatever your style is.Should be able to command much higher rent depending on the area for a furnished rental - minimum of 50% more than LTR.One option could be to lease the house and sell / lease the furniture in a separate bill of sale / contract.

This is a fully legal process that has been irrelevant since the 80s because rates have just dropped.

If they’re financing, the process already takes time, so a slight delay probably won’t matter.If the home is vacant, maybe they can move some things in as a short-term tenant until closing (if their lender and community allows it).
