It would boost federal tax revenue in the short term then cause a major shock to the market.

At the city level - or at the curb? 

Property is on two acres of land, so currently investigating additional ways to boost cash flow such as solar energy, separate garage lease, etc..

If it is a sale, does it have curb appeal?  

The nice thing about renting the property prior to settlement (lease start date must be the day after your purchase settlement day):You start out with a cash flow boost, because you pay mortgage in the "rear" so you have no mortgage due for 30 days, and the rent is paid to you in advance.If you purchase a property with no money down, than this setup creates a situation where  you have a free month of rent at the time of settlement, in other words "you get paid" for purchasing the property.

Sounds like a fair deal if it's near to where you live so you can watch and maintain it.Does it have good curb appeal?

Those trends show no signs of slowing though perhaps the recent downturn in the economy boosted them more than usual.
