If it was posted by a realtor I am assuming they have an exclusive contract to show so you may as well keep using yours and let them do their thing.  

If I would have to be there I may as well do the work myself, assuming that doesn't create awkward or untrustworthy tenant/landlord relationships and the job doesn't require a licensed contractor.

Past San Angelo you may as well buy 15k-20k acres if you want to eat all year and sell a bit too. 

Your house appreciates the same amount regardless of whether you have no loan or are upside down, so I figure I may as well retain some liquidity.I totally realize that not everyone shares my views though, so best wishes!
