Any reason not to offer 100k or lower, in light of the work involved?

@Jason Stofer If you are a resident of CA and are investing in CA, is there a reason you are considering another state? 

If it’s real estate, no reason to sell what you have to get more. 

A number of sites that I've visited mentions that usually (with some variation) within 30 days of getting out your first 200 letters you can reasonably expect to get your first deal.

It helps when you aren't feeling 'happy' for whatever reason. 

But I don't think your landlord is legally obligated to for the reason you stated (TDY orders for training). 

For what ever reason she’s being very cautious and not giving me her opinion.

Otherwise, the numbers look reasonable to me, assuming you will actually get $1,000 a month for the property.Something unrelated to your analysis to consider, though: If your grandmother is renting the house to increase her monthly income, I would consider getting a loan that amortizes over a longer period so as to increase cash flow in the short term.

That said, our principles around debt-avoidance are not going away, but we would make sure before we take on more debt that we have enough savings in a reserve to cover the rental property expenses (on all investments) for at least a year if we had to for some reason.
