You are in a vulnerable position at the moment and I do not think it is wise to make decisions based on emotion versus logic.

Hi William,I would first look at your net worth versus your initial investment as a percentage.

To summarize, it says a “Real estate broker means a person who, for another and for compensation or with the intention or expectation of receiving compensation Sells, exchanges, options, purchases, rents or leases, or negotiates or offers, attempts or agrees to negotiate the sale, exchange, option, purchase, rental or lease of, or lists or solicits prospective purchasers, lessees or renters of, any real estate or the improvements thereon or any modular homes, used manufactured homes, used mobile homes or other housing offered or conveyed with any interest in real estate" This is black and white - if you try to sell a house you do not own, you are brokering.

Great job on this @Drew Purvis  How great is it to learn how to improve for next time and still get all of your money out on a refi? 

On a $2 million purchase, that’s $100,000 to $200,000, significantly less than if you purchased it with a loan.If the deal goes bad, you don’t have to exercise the option, so your downside risk is limited to your option money, time, and improvement costs. 4.

Insurance will also do an ISO inspection on the property separately.If you are paying all cash then it's up to you what your risk tolerance is versus saving a couple of bucks.   

In Connecticut, houses in flood zones have limitations on improvements before the house must be brought up to full FEMA code.

Those are to very good areas that have seen great improvements over the last five years.

The tenant pays every month, keeps the inside very clean, not just maintains the lawn but has improved it far beyond its state when he moved in, and never complains about frivolous stuff.  

I went down to the City last Friday to ask them about subdivision versus condo regime - it was time well spent (note:  get there 30 minutes early on a Friday morning and you're in & out quickly.
