Yay good luck! I didn't follow the updates about what you ultimately decided to do with the renter - but hopefully all her improvements checked out ok after inspection!
It's our old house that's a rental now (there's a bio on it too).
We are hoping we get under contract and have a buyer pay for a whole house inspection before she leaves, otherwise we will get one. I did find out that she's closing on another house this week so she's been planning on this for quite some time .
In exchange for us only listing it for sale and not for rent, she's going to pay half of her rent until March or a closing date. Good news is that half of rent is 3/4 of our mortgage so we are only out a few hundred a month.
Things are selling super fast right now. There is no inventory more than 18 days old. I struggled a ton with picking the price, but went with our agents suggestion. It is on par price per sq ft wise, but we are a 2/1+office and thus have about 300 sq ft more than other 2/1s so the price is higher. There are others that sold within 5-7k of our list though. I think it is high, but his average sales to list price is more than a 100% and his last 3 houses in our area went over asking in a couple of days so FX!
