Along the lines of vacation rentals, any opinion on mountain cabins?

come on you guys lets hit your numbers up against mikes and lets see if we can come up with a avrage,,, i like the 50 % rule but i really like to refine the process since i bring a lot of construction skills to the table and am learning management i like to estimate property a little closer

For the deed transfer...has anybody had an issue at the closing table?

If I end up anywhere else it would probably be somewhere in the west in the mountains.

Time table is 30 - 50 days now.

We've been working on one for almost a year and we have FMV offer pending on the table.

He wanted to use my end buyer's earnest money and I can't get ahold of them because it's so late but I have looked at the deal and there is a lot on the table so I would like to put the $1k earnest money up to be part of the deal.

I call a very small mountain town home.

Some thoughts to consider: Is the seller shopping around for a better offer, leveraging the fact that he has your offer on the table?

Looks like if you sold them both for the prices you mention you and your ex would need to bring about $8K to the table, $4K each.
