🤷🏽‍♀️✨I typically wouldn't reveal the address for obvious reasons but in this case, I didn't have many options since I only have one interested buyer (good or bad idea)?

I'd also restate to them that you are not going to involve yourself directly since that is their role, but that from her email it sounds like allowing her to early terminate with no penalty IF it is returned in good condition may be the best option.

You will then have a few options with that rent money....you can put it into principal or you can start saving it to purchase yet another property.

It is a good reminder to be extra cautious before going into anything.

I would go to an insurance broker and see what options they have.

I'm desperately searching for a financing option for my spec homes that will give me better terms than the 10-12% interest plus $10k closing costs that my current HML is giving me.I tried doing buyer-financed, but they haven't been selling very well (although I really haven't waited long, I'm just impatient).

Since we are total amateurs, we don't which way is better (either get a property for short term or invest that extra cash .Any help will be appreciated!

It doesn't cost anything extra, laws may be different where you are.

If not, are there non-construction options that would be a better return on investment?

(I told him we have other options, but I would rather that he gets to make the profit instead of the bank.)
