I really liked finding the probate houses there, which often have great structure and outdated paint/carpet.  

If its just gonna be added as a passive loss and not eligible to be used now or in the near future, I would not get it done.best of luck

First off... separate the two entities. 

There are a lot of loopholes the city can use to keep people from doing a STR.For example, an up/down duplex.

You don't want to focus on the renters of Section 8 because that can come off as discriminatory as a landlord.

We like the KISS method (keep it simple & for the stupid)

Sometimes you get someone in the group that is just terrible at their job. 

With warranty Just FYI.

You should say most of what you said up there and make it more personal.

You can try and negotiate somewhere in between the $9,000 difference and have the buyers come up with extra cash at closing to make up for it- but chances are they are gonna want it at appraised value; especially if they're the only offer.
