well, that's what it looks like i'm gonna do with my "investment" property downtown.

we had it on the market to sell for weeks now, but only kept getting ludicrously low-ball offers from investors looking to scoop up deals in this higher interest rate market, and i came to my senses that it made no sense to try and cash out on it now.

so i told my agent to just get a tenant lined up for the next year, and with a fair market rate rent, it was scooped-up within hours. and with the new rent, i'll be +$400/month cash positive on it, so why not just keep it rather than taking a $20K - $30K hit.
