The U.S. central bank is betting inflation will fade by next year and fall back toward its long-term goal of 2% (where the rate of inflation it has hovered for most of the past decade).

This may sound cold, but I am all for people who take risks without having a clue, suffering the consequences of their own choices. 

Of course, it's always going to depend on your mortgage which varies greatly depending on how the property was financed, but your best bet is probably going to be a property with multiple units, or a property with an "Ohana Unit" as we call them here in Hawaii. 

So that is not an option.I understand our only choice is to keep renting the condo currently.

Docusign is the choice.

I bet a real estate attorney can help with the form to ensure everything is covered.

I currently spend about 160k-220k cash a year, and a safe bet would be about 200-250k pre-tax (especially when you start adding kids private school costs soon!).

Your best bet is either find a lender who specializes in that range such as auto/boat/motorcycle, etc. or you have to go to the usual advice of a local credit union or bank that will lend from their own books. 

If you don't, then you will have no choice but to get a judgement and put the debt over to collections.

My question is how would you handle this situation and the safest bet?
