It is very likely that it would have cost the average taxpayer substantially more.

News reports to influence people a lot.

Would you agree that it should not have a major influence as a potential tenant to someone?

The requirements for pre-sold and occupany only apply to units within the subject phase of the PUD, not to a geographic area, but the market influences concentration issues of lending that, with the size of your project won't really be applicable.

Further, is the investor-buyer volume substantial enough that wholesaling has viable exit/profit?

I would see it differently if you were substantially changing the property or had the ability to purchase it for $7k when everyone else is paying higher.

If in stopping doing what you do for a living, you go broke, then the market will have less influence and you will go until forced out.

What I'm reading between the lines tells me that you are either going to leave money on the table or improperly account for some things that could mean a substantial underpayment of taxes.

These are all the questions that will influence your cost.

Unless you need to do substantial work to the home, leave it alone.
