My advice is to Not to be in a hurry trying to make up for what you think is loss time.

Loss of Use (for the costs if you have to live elsewhere after a covered loss)4.

A hundred bucks loss is one thing, but you have likely lost 6 figures in cash flow in these 8 years. 

Is it feasible for you to get a $43k mortgage? 

After the last crash, it took ten years just to recover the losses.

There are existing bookings scheduled shortly after our closing date and it won't be feasible to complete the necessary work prior to relisting if we attempt to honor the existing bookings.

can you share the math that indicates that loss?

In addition, if you are not a real estate professional, you might be taking additional losses in your real estate that you can't deduct. 

I think I’m dealing with a management company, is there a chance they would like to off load this property before year end even at a loss to avoid paying taxes and such? 

The agent/broker is best suited to determine the properties' current feasibility, is active in the market and will know if it's a "good deal" based on sales price, current market trends, etc and help with the purchase.
