Now that you've reached it, is there something about pressing forward with a bigger goal that appeals to you?

That's one of the appeals of this strategy. 

Other areas of the metro have a LOT more appeal right now.

The west side is especially appealing because there is a lot of new development happening there with the Bayfront project and others and that neighborhood is really starting to transform.

Did you do same upgrades as the others, what about curb appeal, professional photography is $125-$150 for 25 photos, did you stage it, it’s hard to say without more information. 

If you don't contest the property's value, before the appeal cutoff date, there isn't anything you can do for this year.

The property is worth more than I can afford to put much money down on (money tied up in another deal right now) so I’m trying to get creative and come up with a seller financing deal that would be appealing to the grown kids who own the home now, but stay out of the red. 

@Travis HoleYou'd never know if you didn't ask, but the principal pay down and a 30 year refi makes the cashflow pretty appealing, I think that's your best option.

When deciding on colors, materials, floorplans etc. just keep in mind that you need to appeal to the widest number of potential buyers.

The more people you appeal to the better your chance of finding the best qualified tenant.
