Holding costs will consume some of that 20%.My point is do your research.  

The agent says it should support the contract price but there are no similar comparables to my model that have closed in my community.   

With the recent election, one council member is somewhat opposed to STR (or more strict regulation) whereas a few of the others (as well as the new Mayor) seem to support STR and trying to find a path forward to support STRs and affordable housing.

And they are going through the same things, its a huge support network.  3) You need to be your number 1 priority. 

@Daniel Fitzroy Thanks for the support and encouragement!

I no longer see value in holding real estate, excepting those specific situations which are government supported, e.g. subsidized housing, adult living facilities and the like or if getting the real estate at fire sale prices, e.g. 25% of current fair market value.

It doesn’t really matter what listings the particular agent has, they are going to look at the same mls that feeds all the info to the consumer facing sites.

Let's connect, share our info, and support each other towards our path to financial independence! 

If it would support being a living area (dry all year round, decent height ceilings) maybe make it into a TV room or a 2nd living room with some faux stone, apartment carpet and 2nd hand mirrors from over old dressers.

I've been dealing with some personal matters that have consumed a lot of my time.
