Thanks for your thoughts.

Unfortunately, you'll just need to get your pencil out and grab every expense possible in preparing this for sale.

Any thoughts if this is a good plan?

Any thoughts or suggestions?  

What are your thoughts on low carrying cost ag exempt acreages?

Have you thought about doing a refinance and buying down the rate. 

Maybe this is normal but it seemed ridiculous to expect someone to keep their job(s) and pay rentSince it seemed I was left with no option except to plan on getting prepared to pay March and get the house in good shape so my deposit would be returned and bite the bullet.

I have never had tenants or applicants complain about the old windows.I see a lot of landlords that throw a ton of money into cosmetic work that will never earn back the costs - be thoughtful about whether this is truly necessary.

My neighbor said he thought there might be a free government provided service but he can't remember the name.   

I always thought these were generated organically.or I guess maybe some company scrubs public data and gets the names of folks that have  been buying ?
