I would flip this question around and evaluate this from your side:  if you view this as your forever home and it truly has that level of sentimental value and functional value to you and your family and staying there for the long haul is a desirable thing, then you'll find that you have an extremely desirable BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated agreement - from the book Getting To Yes) and you'll likely be best served by setting the terms for what you can and will consider in the negotiations with the developer.I primarily recommend you setting these terms (for example: go to the developer and have a frank conversation about the price you'll sell at and let him/her know that this its not a high-ball/low-ball game to you, but you want to communicate the best monetary way for them to achieve this win at a number that is workable to you) because allowing or requiring the developer to set the initial offer amount is going to anchor them on this price. 

This is the fundamental problem I have with Wall Street who takes too much fees off the hard-working efforts of the middle class. If

We’ve decided to categorize which amenities will be included with rent, but doesn’t make the price too high, but is still functional for us to manage.

In addition to this figure, the CES provides more granular data for jobs tabulated using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

We do have some of the functionality you're talking about like agent, lender, etc.

I cant figure out how to do that..maybe if the search function was easy folks would do it more..

I plan to have an inspection done but I’m concerned I won’t be able to get a mortgage for the property if the septic is not functional.

Hopefully this isn't happening out there--but I am pretty certain it is from what I've heard from investors that have called me to share their horror stories.One consideration to not lose sight of is the overall return on the investment is a function of the amount of money raised and the amount of money returned. 

Redoing the kitchen and 1 bath from functional but old to updated should allow us to increase rents at least $200 or more a month as the rest of the house has been very well maintained and updated.  

I prefer to use my IRA money for strictly lending purposes for this reason and I use my Solo401K (which can be structured to function as a REALLY BIG Roth account known as a Mega BackDoor Roth) with contribution limits of $56K per spouse per year to actually buy investments.
