Check with your agent and/or shop for the pricing of that new policy to factor that into your calculations

A key factor for him was having the ability to close on it and delay our possession for a couple months to give his family time to finish school and get ready for the move.

There are so many other factors not mentioned here that other more experienced investors talk about like the experience you get from buying a rental, managing one (or finding a good manager), or running a rehab if you need to.

@Raymond Bachmann,There are a lot of different factors and numbers that you need to take into account with this decision.

Potentially a mix of the data scraping taking into account blocked days on the calendar as true occupancy, and factoring fees as part of the ADR (average daily rate) I would say they have shown a material miss when it comes to data for properties that I had managed in the past.

Today I’m debating on to sell or keep this renta property and one of the factors is comparing my current cash flow to potential cash flow .

The other piece to factor is the amount of time that it takes to secure a HELOC which is averaging anywhere from 3-6 monhts (I'm currently nearly three months into a HELOC application for my rental).

Your lender is required to give you an estimated number.For the sole purpose of dissecting comparables, I mainly look for different factors such as square footage, number of beds/baths, location, distance from subject property, etc.

But the biggest factors are more likely that the cost of living in cities like Seattle has exploded.

that may factor in.I forgot to mention in my earlier post, if there is a chance that the building codes/zoning laws in the locations have changed you should discuss Ordinance & Law coverage with the agents to cover the additional costs to rebuild if the changes require it.
