It will cost you something to sell the home (think realtor commissions, title company fees, gov'ment cheese, etc) and it will cost you something to do the project (think holding costs, like the interest you'll pay on the loan while the project is happening)So, when you think of selling for $377,548 (if indeed that is viable), you'll want to take something off the top, say 7.5% to represent all costs of sale? 

This represents average rent in the market, both for traditional and SFR.

There are many paths to success, either investing, representing, or just helping to educate friends and family to benefit their future. 

Had that been the case, she would have to hire a local representative to handle the estate, another big hassle. 

Talk to your representative (not sure what the local govt representative is called in the US, in Canada, it is your MP) and see what they say. 

I end up with maps that looks like this: In this map, colors represent current median income and arrows represent income growth over the last five years.

I would suggest contacting several Independent Agents who represent multiple companies and have them run comparisons.I would give them an Idea of what limits you are looking for (building, Liability, deductibles, umbrella, etc.) to make it easier to compare.Things that they will most likely ask:- what is the construction- year built- year when updated: Electric, Plumbing, Roof, Heat- If any dogs, what breed- any losses in past 5 yrs- any pool or playground- Lead free certified- any in ground tanksGood luck on the purchase and feel free to PM me if you have any questions on the above info.

I agree new buyers are best represented by a good agent, but to say commissions aren't paid from buyer funds is a bit not right.  

Represented myself.

I am an outside sales representative in distribution of building materials (windows, doors, siding & roofing).
