I'd live in it a few months until I could get a HELOC of $100-$150k, use that for a down payment on an FHA multifamily to househack, rent out his house, put a down payment on an STR that I really want, finish my commercial pilots license, and hopefully have enough cash reserves to where I don't have to work so much overtime and I can focus on doing fix and flips and using my RE license to help buyers/sellers.I'm not sure what is the best route to set me up for REI success here; but for sentimental reasons and to give the bird to everyone who said I'd never be able to come up with enough money fast enough for probate I'd like to keep the house.

If the fundamentals of NOLA are strong but the sentiment is bad, THAT is a buy signal.New Orleans is losing population.

@Marc Winter surveys are a great way to measure sentiment and nothing more.

@Stasiu Geleszinski love this idea and sentiment. 

I completely agree with the sentiment that it's always best to reach out for assistance when navigating these complexities.

The sentimental value and how close I am to keeping his house is killing me. $200k in equity is nothing to laugh at.

And it's equally surprising how seller sentiment can change on a dime if the dom is starting to creep up on them.

We have a lot of sentimental love for the home.

Western Australia’s resource-anchored economy remains vulnerable to global commodity shocks that can swiftly shift market sentiment, while an overreliance on outer-ring stock or oversupply in specific growth corridors could elevate liquidity and pricing risks.In a fragmented national housing market, Perth stands out for its blend of yield, affordability, and infrastructure-led upside.

Specifically, I’m looking to understand:What’s the current demand and overall sentiment in your STR market?
