I’m seeking guidance on how best to approach this situation and would appreciate your thoughts on what you would do if you were in my shoes.Here are the details: My current home loan is $242,000, and the property is estimated to be worth approximately $420,000 (± $5,000).

Remember, a prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

They were nice and didn't charge me the 10% penalty though.       

I'm seeking an opportunity for a summer home in the area, and would like to rent it in the winter when I'm not there. 

@Jonathan Greene Thank you for that, I will seek out a meet up in my local area.

If it’s rental property do you seek amenities in the locaton or that doesn’t matter.

I would suggest maybe seeking the assistance of a real estate salesperson who could give you accurate market comparisons for the area, add to the description, and most importantly, take photos that will better highlight your property. 

Given the abatement option could you continue to occupy 15% of the building with commercial tenants while the rest of the building is converted or is that a logistical nightmare/ideally are you seeking different long term commercial tenants if you go that route? 

I haven't 100% narrowed down my market yet, but once I do, I'll aim to connect with investors first, seek advice and recommendations and go about building my team this way. 

Seeking attention and validation, he expects everyone to look up to him.
