@Andy Mirza I went over the report with the appraiser, the only Comp I questioned was an REO in the same building that sold two  months ago that was badly damaged, water damage in two locations, old carpet, damaged kitchen floors, broken HVAC, nothing new or upgraded and that unit sold for $234,000 as an REO.Is my agent a good one is definitely a good question, After the latest price drop I told her this isn't my primary residence so I don't have the typical emotional attachments some sellers have where they want the highest prices in the neighborhood, Do we have to do these incremental small price drops, I just want what the appraisal/market says it's worth or really close to it so lets get it sold, that's when the discussion about not pricing it at appraisal came in due to the buyers wanting concessions/discounts.I didn't know over 60 days on the MLS was happening in some markets. 

Even if you are in the senior most position, are you willing to, potentially, damage your relationship in case things go south for only $1,250? 

That way, if you have any damages or patches in the future it's easy to deal with.

If you used your VA Home Loan to purchase the Home you have a Home Warranty in effect.

Also, when it does rain hard there is some water that leaks into the basement, but in both units there is a properly working floor drain and nothing is down there to get damaged. 

Importantly, even if the rule does come into effect, it won't be until July 2019.

Moreso,  my researching into the market, I realized it's cheaper and cost effective to buy than to rent.

Landlords fair best when they charge for damages as they occur or as they are discovered.

That means that you'd be paying the hard money lender effectively more than your rental income.

They all are having catalytic economic effects.
