Is the overhead reduction enough to allow me to save for my next opportunity?  

The item with the highest weight in my decision was to obtain an SFH in a similar neighborhood to what our ideal future tenant would be seeking to rent in.

Look at the new listings, pending, sold, price reductions, on the MLS every day.

Yes, you’ll be subject to the fluctuation in int rates, however, you can get creative and move to 5/7/10 year ARM options that are typically offering a pretty significant reduction to int rate in comparison with the traditional 15/30 yr options.Something to consider, run the analysis on and see if the math makes sense.

LL As mentioned you will not know until you sell BUT what I would have done is taken that $8,000 and invested it in a fund that would pay you 8-10% interest only then take that money and add that to your principal reduction.

The Illinois Dept of Revenue website states:  Veterans or surviving spouses of veterans with a service-connected disability of 70% or more will be exempt from paying property taxes on their primary residences (100% reduction in EAV, which is Equalized Assessed Value).  

I think we are hitting the point where inventory will see more price reductions to account for buying power due to rates.

This is probably at little low due to smaller batteries weighting less.

@William KellySounds like they called your BS and want you to substantiate your significant price reduction which you cannot.

ASSUMPTION: a CRASH is 10% or more in a short period such as 3 days:We've been tracking the secret RedFin box "Price reductions"which was about 50 homes per day months ago,BUT hit over 1,250 PRICE CUTS in the last few,right after a YouTube/MSM 3 min. video went out,saying Vegas home decline 1st Time in two years!
