The basement is all concrete; just an exterior access; it sounds like it was built to flood every so often; the floor drain drains back to the river.

Hey @Joshua Morgan something you may consider to get access to the down payment funds is obtaining an ULOC unsecured line of credit.

That was really helpful for me in understanding market trends, etc. and I was sad to see that Zillow stopped showing those prices about a month ago.Does anybody know what changed (in the MLS or otherwise) to give Zillow (and I assume Redfin, realtor.com, etc) that access early this year, then take it away a month ago? 

I don't have one specific contact at Cross because I have more than one entity that has policies with them, and they seem to assign the account rep based on the name of the owner/entity.It's important to get quotes from multiple agencies as they have access to different carriers and may quote you higher or lower depending on what other risk their currently carrying in that area/zip code.

We decided that keeping it as a rental, while retaining access to equity was the best of both worlds.

Eviction for unauthorized user, not allowing access to unit?

I would say that you're clear on the timeline of 60 days per the lease as you noted, but would maybe want to consider limiting access to the executor alone, consider going with them maybe and just kindly explain to them that you would prefer only they come in to claim possessions. 

That's just one example but it's very simple and accessible to anyone.

If you need access to cash, I'd rather see you refi cashout if you need money than sell a unit.

It allows you to pay down your debt the same way large corporations do, while retaining access to every dollar.
