You can find a house in the Pensacola area for way less than $200k, probably less than half that.

I only work half a year last year before I quit my job and I didn't work any new job.

When I moved out a year and a half later, it cash flowed while paying a professional manager.

(cut that in half if I do it myself).

A loss of 53% over the course of a year and a half.

The Structural and MEP engineers are usually a third to half the price of the Architect.

People will always need a place to live (rates are crazy volatile right now though I think they will stabilize and remain low), but If you sit back and look at the big picture do you think people will be buying half million dollar homes now and/or in the near future?

The previous owner had not raised rent for 4 years so I will inch that up as their leases expire. 

After crunching the numbers, we found the rental price will need to be pretty high for the market in order to cash flow, which I checked with realtors and the management team to confirm it would be possible.Our plan was to rent it out April of this year and moving to Portland, OR (we have a property management company selected and onboard already.I just looked at Zillow this morning and found there are only a few properties listed for rent, and at about half what we would need the price to be to cover the mortgage.With the uncertainty of what's going on in the world, we're at a loss of whether it's a better idea to do one of these three options:1: Proceed as planned, put it on the market, try to rent it and move to Portland in April/May2: Rent it, find a cheap apartment in OKC and live there for 6-12 months and revisit the Portland plan later this year3: Put renting and the move to Portland on hold altogether right now and focus on work right now.Any advice would be helpful.

Ended up losing half the house and total gut job.
