I think I paid about $120 a couple of years ago.

Welcome @Dillon Dale,I am in a similar boat having just purchased my first property after moving to Minneapolis a couple years ago.  

Hi @Melvin List,I had some email correspondence with Jeremy but have not written with him in a couple weeks.  

Our contract has a due diligence clause in it, so we can still back out if anything huge comes up.Current Home Info: 1970 sqft, 15 year mortgage (about 13.5 years left) at 3.375%, monthly payment of $1,241 (will go up a couple hundred due to SC taxes raising for non-primary residencies). 

I am a practicing licensed broker with a decent size business (LLC #1), however this rental property is within (LLC #2) which has a couple other rentals in it as well...so when you say "real estate professional" I am a little unclear if my "day job" as a broker would give me this title since this property pertains to LLC #2 and is my "rental job" which is passive income, not active.We've rented the property for 2 years as originally intended, but do the fire and renovations, plus the market being higher than I ever anticipated in this area, I want to get out what I can and roll the money into a better location via a 1031 tax exchange.Thanks again for all your input!!

I see a couple of benefits from this approach:1.

The few I have been able to come in right around list price (a couple thousand below) and they sell to someone else.

You can go to a locksmith and pick up a couple knobs keyed the same and also to your master.

We have the added benefit of being just a couple of hours from Moab which is maybe less attractive in the middle of summer, but an exceptional place for spring or fall adventures. 

Hopefully this information helps and I do suggest at least interviewing with a couple real estate agents.
