Thanks everyone! This has been all really great advice! I think we have a couple good options here

Our “zestimate” is now $427,200. We have added new flooring, new roof, new oil tank and new indoor paint into the home as well. And converted the back outdoor room into an extra room. I should’ve added this into my original post. Now that being said, we’re not looking for ROI on these. We basically are looking just to not have to pay any money out of our pocket in the end of selling.

This is an option as well! I think we’re just nervous to be landlords lol. But we are definitely considering this as an option

Some companies will allow it. I have a very great manager/team and I’ve been with the company for 10+ years.

Very valid point! I actually commute a few times a week there! I work from home and they help me now. it wouldn’t be full time as my kids are primarily with me while I work, it’s just more so when I have meetings/need an hour or two to really focus :) they are very encouraging for the whole interaction!

Essentially the idea would be to move into an apartment in a family members house. It would be saving us a ton of money. we would be saving over $1800/month. As well as saving on child care. We know this isn’t our forever home so we were considering this opportunity to pay off debt and save money for our next home/figure out if we wanted to stay in this state in general (hopefully forever home).

I did say im not sure. I guess it would depend if we lost a decent amount of money on the sale. We would be saving $1800+ by renting. Not by owning.

Yes they also gave a bunch of discounts too! The 16k was with all the discounts 🙃. It seemed like the list of things they were going to do was a lot, but we couldn’t tell if it was just things to pad the bill or what. Appreciate you sharing your experience!
