Hello I am an accidental landlord need advice on how to proceed.

You can either be patient and check in with you agent once a day or you can press the issue and give the agent a deadline for the sellers to make up their mind.

What do you think would be an appropriate price, I want to make sure I'm not about to low ball some people accidentally.

Hi All,So I have an accidental rental (we bought it as our home and decided to rent after moving) that we acquired before finding BP seven years later.

Came across the BP podcast kind of accidentally.

I'll try to press him for his reasoning.  

So unless it is a 2-season rental (something in the Lakes Region that is also near enough to ski-resorts to attract some winter renters), I think you'd be hard-pressed to make the cash flow equal a 12-month lease type of investment with the same cost to acquire and stabilize, let alone achieve the additional cash flow necessary for the hassle of a vacation rental to be worthwhile.

My dad was in the army, and he accidentally retired there.
