That's a new consideration for me to know others may not be able to easily finance when I eventually sell.I don't see how that makes any logical sense from a lender (or note holder) risk POV - if the current structure could be permitted and rebuilt to it's current use in the event of destruction, why would the lender care?

We came in at $825K, eventually settling at $831K.

It seems pretty common place to just lock in the fixed interest rate with the expectation of eventually refinancing to a lower rate.

It won't make you wealthy in a year, but it will eventually snowball, especially when you add the appreciation, mortgage paydown, and tax advantages mentioned by others.

But eventually you run out of suckers to buy 500k housesCheers!

Eventually they will need to see it but again they should be able to give you a relatively accurate estimate.

It’s going to cost you a lot to turn over so if they move, great and if not, you can at least get some interim funds for eventually turning over.

Our plan was to either sit on the land for a few years and sell it or eventually build on it.

Eventually AirBNB will be so guest focused that more and more owners will leave the platform, then what will they do? 

I will say be prepared for a lot of rejection but you’ll eventually find someone however expect them to want a premium.
