#7 What would you do?

You bought a home about 7 months ago and lease the home. The renter moved out so you put it for sale and for rent. You paid $85,000 and you list it for $130,000. Within 2 days you get an offer for $115,000. You will have tax consequences if you sell the home as you have not owned it for year. What would you do?

1. Take the $115,000

2. Counter offer at $125,000

3. Rent the home for another 6 months to a year so the tax consequences will be less.

P.S. For me, I would say to take the money and run. Don't be greedy. A 25% profit is great!

I think that most people like/expect to negotiate - I would counter once, and then just take the money and run!
