You have a square peg / round hole situation which is always tricky in insurance.

Currently I am not renting in Boston, I live at home for free, most of my colleagues pay 800-900 for rent with a few roommates, I was rounding up a tad.

(Side Note: if you really want to jump your credit score in a few months (because it takes time for the reporting to update), and if your disciplined with your spending try this;1st) I went and did the math to see what my positive cash flow each month off my active income (let’s say you’ve got $500 left over after you go through your monthly spending avg. which is all you kick out vs what you bring in)2nd) Go get a credit card with 0% interest for 12mths with NO higher than 5% transfer fee.( their are some with low as a 0% transfer and I had got that one on my 2nd round cause my credit wouldn’t let me at first)3rd) do a transfer balance after 24- 48hrs of opening the card (Nope you don’t need wait to actually get the card just call in and tell them over the phone to send a Blanche transfer check to your bank account in the amount of your car Balance; because you’ve only got a 30day window of transfer with 0% interest for the 12mths)4th) PAY YOUR CAR OFF IN FULL, and take your old car note (let’s says it $450mth) plus your $500 positive cash each month and add all $950 each month to pay against the balance on the card5th) in 45days start checking your CreditKarma app (its free) and don’t worry about the 5% if it’s larger than your car loan % because once you’ve paid your car off your score will go up and in a couple months of $950 your car will be paid OFF not in 2more years or so...Thus saving you probably more than $2,000 in interest on the car loan (so you get to keep $$) and time in payments.Your saving money on interest (keeping it in your pocket thus making your pocket bigger!

Ideally we wouldn’t buy if it didn’t cash flow in the first place so I’m picking nice round numbers just for simplicity.Loan is 240K 30 yr. fixed at 4.3%Monthly payments are 1,500 Rental income 2,000Cash flow is 500/monthIf we use the cash flow to pay down the mortgage faster we can pay down the mortgage in ~ 17 years and save nearly 80K in interest paid on that loan.

After a couple of rounds we are now off on our own! 

(Other bidder says 80, I immediately say yep before the auctioneer even asks me to bid...we did this for a few rounds till the other bidders get the feel I would pay anything). 

I recently did a house with it about 900 SF for $5/sf installed and that included quarter round and cutting in around kitchen cabinets, but the toilet & vanity were pulled. 

. :)the market in all areas is pretty brisk these days so its not unusual for an offer to come in.. someone may have been looking at this property for a few days and the offer just got in and signed around.. unless you talked to the listing agent you have no way of knowing if the offer was presented 3 days ago and a round of counters went back and forth and it just became pending.. 

Now that I have moved away, I am renting it out to a single family and it is non cash flowing and honestly was a bad deal to begin with all round.

I used to have at least one of these a month on my rounds for when I did handyman work.
