Make the building looks better than the one without balcony??

., the sand and the water) is better in Gulf Shores and Orange beach...I have a theory that the beach gets better the farther east you go...will have more info on that in a couple weeks.  

I did move out price as I initially thought psychological 649k would be better, because I realized that with 1 unit vacant (1 tenant paying low $1850/m in first floor unit) i either get homeowners buying or investors who will lowball. 

When a bank knows you are there in the community, and creating a service/product for its community, they just treat you better.

Even looking at the balanced rate (which I feel like is hard because the terms are different) along with the potential to have the monthly payment/fees covered, it feels like a cash out is a better option if we did want to keep this.Part of the current struggle is that the market was hit harder from the rate increase so sales are almost at a standstill and even with trying to sell the house, the rental market is doing substantially better because most military cannot afford to purchase in this area as the payments are over 6k/mo for buying vs 3-4k/mo for renting.Any advice is most appreciated!

That sounds good to me unless someone can articulate a better strategy for the area. 

While multi family and new built luxury high rises might be going down it does not appear to affect more desirable properties that offer more space, amenities, better locations.I am in South East in a desirable area.What is your take on rental outlook?

I like all s4's but I like the 6 cylinder bi-turbos better.

Your most likely better off doing a cash out refinance.

So I would say from my experience that you could have picked a worse path, and "better schools" aren't all they're cracked up to be.
