Again, your time and response is very much appreciated.   

The solution to that problem is that next to our attic there is a small room with a toilet and a shower, which one of our neighbors owns but has not used for a long time.

A lot of long time renters will look at a 5-10k buyout as hitting the lottery.

Times have changed. 

I've been building a 1 bedroom carriage house on the property in my spare time for the last few years which my wife and I plan to move into in the next few months so we can rent out the house.

Does that just increase your hold time, so decreases real estate activity?

I put twenty percent down at time of purchase as well.

Well at the time I was a single guy/military.

A lot of the projects that are going on here aren't finished yet and new projects and developments are popping up all the time.

PM me and we can set up a time for a quick call.
