A few rotten apples spoil the entire bushel. 

Oh wait...if its FHA buyer is owner occ.. this is not a make money deal and a flip.. apples and oranges and since you admit your not up to speed on FHA this is very common.. seller can either come down. (* which is what happens to me) or they terminate.. and they can be butt heads and not sign the EM release out of being in a snit.

Russell,Talk about an apples to oranges comparison. 

Be sure to check what that includes (initial and re or just initial) to make sure you are comparing apples to apples.Have any other questions feel free to DM me.. 

One of the brokers I'm talking to prepared a doc showing a comparison between a comparable sales approach, and an income (cap rate) approach, to estimate value per square foot.The two values are fairly different, with the income based one being the lower of the two, so they're recommending going forward with the comparable sales approach and listing at that price.My concern is, what if those other sales that we're comparing to were sales to investors shopping on an income basis, which means it's really not an apples-to-apples comparison?

When my friends were going out or watching tv I was reading about realestate .

So everybody, knows and do not work or contact that bad apple.

I spent evenings working on my side hustle vs watching tv.

For ease of analysis, I'm assuming "apples to apples" with the old/new house and that anything we'd buy would be ~$800k (albeit with a MUCH higher interest rate).- Rent it out and continue to hold it with the current mortgage as-is.- Keep it, do a cash-out refinance to use some equity for other investments, and rent it out.I know that everyone's situation is nuanced, but I would just love some general thoughts on how YOU would think about this!

it's simple math...whatever your buyers want, you should understand, even if you disagree with their strategyYou're comparing apples to oranges Bryan.
