Tree 3 fell in my sons condo parking lot on my sons acquaintance, he did not have comprehensive which among other things covers falling objects, his car was scrap, no one paid.   

It is hard for me to make this decision just based on the potential numbers because I have an emotional attachment to it but I am looking for an objective view from someone who has a different perspective then I do at the moment.

Lastly, be objective with any deal.

Then you'd multiply the total by 1% to achieve a $2,100 minimum monthly payment.If you're looking to buy an investment property, the 1% rule can help you identify the ideal property to meet your financial objectives.

Long term or STR objectives?

Your deal parameters are ideally suited for using HML or a private lender, since your objective is short term, and your exit financing is a clear and effective path. 

Are you putting out a large quantity of fluff posts to help people, or are you trying to build a "brand" to sell them stuff?

My objective was to Run the brrr… but since that has changed I’m having to sell. 

This was a list I used recently for a 2x1 using Ikea furniture, not comprehensive but a start: Item Price Quantity Total Queen Duvet Covers 23.99 2 47.98 Queen Mattress 314.95 2 629.9 Queen bed frames 156.14 2 312.28 Queen Sheet set 32.97 4 131.88 Queen Mattress Cover 15.99 2 31.98 Queen & Full Quilts 19.99 4 79.96 Full Bunk bed frame 269.97 1 269.97 Full mattresses 138.63 2 277.26 Full Sheet Set 35.97 4 143.88 Full Mattress Cover 16.99 2 33.98 Set of 6 bath towels 21.24 3 63.72 Set of 6 towels - 2x2x2 26.99 2 53.98 Kitchen Towels 16.99 1 16.99 Sound machine 21.99 2 43.98

I'm a former VP of a bank so I understand the advantages and disadvantages of both options, but it will really come down to matching financing with strategy.This is where I'm struggling more: is it better to utilize the "lump sum" equity and buy a better home in a "better" market (our families live in Denver and we know Scottsdale fairly well, but our $800K is more likely to result in 1 or 2 down payments vs a cash purchase) or split the $800K into smaller chunks and investigate a higher volume strategy in a smaller market where our cash goes further (cash purchases and refinances or multi-families).Would appreciate thoughts/experiences the community may have with "quantity vs quality"
