How would you suggest prolonging that situation?

I also have the system cleaned twice a year under a service contract which will prolong the life of the unit.

How many salaries employees who bought their homes with credit survive another round of massive prolonged layoffs. 

This is also my concern that a tenant may not call for repair or prolong the problem where it may become bigger problem.

If you allow pets, consider laying the pad upside down to put the barrier on top to prolong the life of the pad.I just finished reading Landlording on Autopilot.

I have been told by local inspectors that the city would prefer the back house be torn down, and that I would be unlikely to get any building permits approved (in essense, I would be prolonging the life of a building they would like to see go away).It is unlikely that you would be able to split the property, unless it satisfies current street frontage, setbacks and minimum lot size requirements, and asking for an exception would be a very long shot.You can't look at this property's ARV as if it were two sparate properties.

If I put 20 percent down, it will prolong the time it will take to buy the next property.

Some questionable things happened on their end that prolonged the deal and the bank would no longer entertain a short sale.

It would save you time too so you don’t have to wait until after escrow to start and prolong getting a renter in 🤷🏼‍♀️

The lower offers from locals citing the flood zone as a detractor are indicative of the challenges in pricing such properties.Comparing your property to a similar one listed at 1.2 million is useful, but its prolonged time on the market suggests overpricing, possibly due to the flood zone challenges.Your target selling price of $650,000 might seem reasonable given the growth prospects of the area and the property's attributes.
