Forgive me if my response time is non-existent and I do extremely appreciate all that have added to this matter. your story is a little messy, but i'm pretty sure this is what is happening.1. you received notice to vacate/quit 4 months ago, due to "unknown issue" (ending the lease means you leave, unless a new lease is made. same thing)2.

There are always the unknown things that can happen.

It is more about freedom to do your best work, without money getting in the way (author unknown).And, if for your definitions, the very word volunteer would not be in our lexicon.

I won't be selling everything preparing for an unknown. 

Dewinterizing and connecting of disconnected plumbing and repairing of any unknown leaks in the plumbing system would need to be done to determine usability.Inspection Report: SepticI first went to the town building department to see if they had a copy of the as built for the septic (attached).

There always unknown factors.

This is one more unknown for them. 

I've bought SFH as well a multi-family and other real estate; including farms, woodland, water front property, land locked  property, perk failed property, title defect properties, unlocated properties, and owner unknown properties. 

I will say that as a beginner investor the fear is high because of the unknown.

I wouldn't even be able to determine the best place to invest in the city I live using just macro factors.I hadn't considered renting as a primary option until your suggestion - Just a backup in case of delays in liquidating or some unknown delay in converting AUD/USD.
