Come on Mr.

But right now, I'm stuck on if I should:(A)sell and buy a new place (B) live here another year/save more or (C) keep as a rental and buy a new place. 

@Dayton Bishop It's great to hear you are taking interest in real estate at such a young age but based on what you shared, you're not in a position to own real estate.

I think they may want to move forward solely on escrow instructions?

I have always been on top of things.

I just gave it a try with a random property I found for sale on Redfin and once the map updated and I clicked on the parcel it brought up a little context window that provided the mailing address (as well as other info).

First off, huge congrats on making the jump! 

It also helps you build the intuition on how much you can offer.

On a fixed mortgage, i could pay extra payments (or a one time lump sum payment) and apply it towards principal.

They take good care of the house, pay the rent on time, and are easy on the house.
