But simple and timeless is often the most cost effective solution, because the odds that your tenant or buyer will like bamboo flooring is statistically low.

I'm wondering if you have a competent real estate agent you're working with who would've provided you with truly accurate comps and market statistics (i.e days on market vs. list price median, original sales price vs. sold sales price etc.) or if you went by what the wholesaler was saying?

You cannot earn money safely other than depend on appreciation and loan pay down over the years while operating at a negative cash flow.

You can absolutely invest in properties that do not cashflow at all or even have negative cashflow in the short term if your exits permit and end with an overall positive exchange.

If you have negative cash flow on the current home after you move out, it's going to make it difficult to get approved for an investment loan unless you and your fiancé have solid W2 income.

I’m going to consult an attorney and make sure I understand all possible outcomes.My bet is the other events of default all relate to non-payment or habitual late-payment on this debt or some other debt to the bank, transferring ownership of the asset (or the borrower) without bank permission, or negatively affecting the value of the asset in some way. 

To the couple naysayers, no firearms were needed in this process and I hope that you find some positive experiences in your endeavors that will help you to not look so negatively at a situation.
