Unless I'm going 30 year fixed around 60 is going to be my max, and typically closer to 50.

However, they will not allow to do Phase I inspection and they have reserve price.Just curious about the following: Can they set the reserve price higher than the market value?

Financing, inspection, and appraisal are about all you'll get away with.

You do have to make a strong “need” vs “want” case (closer to work, better for your family, etc) but it’s feasible.

The buyers home inspection found there was a leak and some water intrusion and that some drywall needed to be replaced. 

I do that contingent upon inspection of premises and financials so there is always an out.

obviously, you will have more cost (closing, inspection, etc. + more CapEx as you have 3 roofs instead of 1), but in a longer term I think you will generate way more cash than keeping that investment?

. :)We are doing a rehab in California and today (after getting signed off on everything last week) a building inspector just waltzed in the front door (no knock) and said he was there to "inspect the copper piping."

In my Indiana properties, I have seen real costs be closer to $100 per door per month. 

Upon further inspection, I discovered that one of the existing bedrooms also lacks this.The house currently has oil steam heat and a wood stove, which for insurance reasons we are replacing with a gas stove.
