And while agree with putting out conservative estimates, a quick cursory search suggests that a new rental in this area would likely generate closer to $3k/mo.

It's more affordable than the Bay Area and we're closer to my wife's side of the family.

We personally won't look at a deal where we don't think we won't make at least $50,000 after all expenses and closing... and truthfully we are usually wanting closer to $100,000 or more.  

Mortgage companies, heirs, Bob's construction company that put a workman's lien on the property, Credit card company, etc etc... exception being local municipality liens ( grass cutting, demo etc.)

We are planning a move to be closer to family and are looking at whether to rent or buy given the current market.

., 6.125%, 3.204pts, 25% DP, no ppp - 8.72% CoC ($82K savings over 30yrs)I would be shopping the non QM rate - we would be closer to 7% with a 1 Year PPP as of Friday and even lower with a longer PPP.

We have a healthy rental market but if you are closer to the beaches even better. 

Your Acquisition Closer did have a passing in his family during this time and we replaced your caller that day, with one of our best callers, but you still found a reason to be dissatisfied, to the point of being very aggressive with the entire team.

There has been some hesitation for me to sell due to the fact the rental market here is averaging $2,500 in rent for my area and property, I make great money now and have funds to cover vacancy and repairs on the home, but I would like to be able to afford a nice rental for my fiance and I to live in while we save for our primary residence.Shoild I sell and take my profits (60-70k net) and throw into an investment closer to where I will be living or should I rent, cash flow and build equity in the property. 

It's more affordable and the location is relatively closer to NY/NJ.
