A little goes a long way you only need 5-10% down for a New primary, 10% for a Second/Vacation home, and 15% down for an investment home even up to 4 units.The home you are planning on selling if you rent it out you can use the 12 month lease/rental agreement to offset (Wash) the mortgage payment if you take cash out so that you do not get hit on the new purchase against your DTI.

But to touch on some of your points:-Costs to build are probably some of the highest in the nation, other than maybe Telluride or other vacation destinations. 

The time depends on lease length and how long they've been living there.I would also recommend reaching out to their caseworker (if they have one) to let them know the lease will not be renewed.Section 8 voucher holders are incentivized to vacate quickly in order to keep their voucher and avoid having to pay full-market rent out of pocket elsewhere.Hope this helps!

Another lost his primary residence plus his vacation rental and will be staying with me for the next month while he sorts out his home.

We just cancelled our family vacation to Asheville.

Still, no.The next day she feels 10k is reasonable.I initially was inclined to help her with a new bedroom set, and return of security deposit along with not charging the month of september while she finds a new place.My responsibility or not, amicably helping a tenant vacate quickly is in everyone's best interest.

I don't want that happening here until I can view the house myself after tenant vacates and I have the person I use to fix things present.

If you have a short term rental, it is the worst policy because they will not insure vacation rentals.

For ourselves, we don’t care about that channel anyways so doesn’t matter to us.A few weeks ago we exported all of our listings to Google vacations.
