Haven Life Line

• AJ and her husband want to purchase a house in North Idaho to use as an Airbnb. Due to COVID-19 and the drop in demand for rental properties, they were able to put in an offer far below asking price. With the rest of their bills paid off and retirement accounts fully funded, AJ asks: what are our thoughts on them paying $460,000 for the property? The home was originally listed for $540,000.
