This last statement will get them moving.  

I was losing my offers to mostly all-cash buyers, and also they were going higher than I wanted with their offers (usually because I had a ROI in mind) - I was not smart because I think I was thinking the low rates would last a while.

Please be gentle; I'm new at this and it's pretty complex :)Structure / Legal Details- we'd establish market value through a combination of comps from local real estate agent and an appraisal- attorney would establish all required "arms length" aspects including a mortgage at a minimum standard federal rate- LLC would pay us back based on a standard promissory note over 30 yrs Pros of selling to the LLC (I think)- A sale now would be the only time we'd be able to take advantage of the cap gains exclusion on this house bc we won't qualify for the "live there 3 of 5 years" rule due to the timing of our lease and our last time of residence. 

Again, I would love to connect with some individuals who have experienced this process before or know a lot about it. 

how long do batteries last? 

I'm passionate about learning the ins and outs of the industry, and I'm eager to connect with others who share a similar drive.Whether it's sharing experiences, seeking advice, or exploring new opportunities, I'm here to grow and contribute to this vibrant community.

Last thing to think about....you can pull equity out of the house to use as a downpayment without selling.

However, as with any market, local insights and collaborations can make all the difference.I'd love to connect with fellow investors and knowledgeable individuals who are familiar with Hartford or the broader CT real estate market.

Looking to connect with out of state investors in the Los Angeles area.

The floors I see in that last picture especially look fine to me as-is for a student rental.
