Thanks everyone.  I was not aware Of baseboard heaters.  We have gas on the property, would you recommend i use gas versus electric so i can avoid the problem of having to put this on separate breakers?  

@Kirk R., 1,000 sq/ft per unit.

Hi all,

I'm hoping to get some feedback from Section 8 landlords. I'm working on my first rehab that will be designated as a S8 rental. This will be in Macon, GA and the guidelines state the house must have a heat source. The property is a duplex that will have window units as a cooling source. The only problem with getting the heating/cooling window units is the amount of electricity needed to run them. I would have to put all 4 units on separate breakers which would be very costly. Electrician is telling me that even then, I would have to get the city to provide more voltage to the house in order to make this happen.

Do any current S8 landlords use something outside of a central HVAC unit for their places? If so, what do you use? Any recommendations on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I never replied to you but wanted to thank you for the insight. You were spot on. It actually wasn’t as good of a deal as it seemed. Thanks for helping me dodge a bullet

Hi,

I have a property that has been rehabbed and i wanted to refinance out. I talked to a lender who said in order for the property to be refinanced, it has to be 6 months since i originally bought it. In order to refinance and pull cash out, it has to be 12 months since i originally bought it.

Has anyone come across this or an i just needing to look at a different lender? I've never done BRRRR but have certainly done my fair share Of research on the topic. Having to keep the property this long seems like a pretty big step that would have been mentioned in the forums.

Anyone out there with first hand expert be that can shed some insight?

Thanks in advance!

Everyone, I know this post was a while back but i'm looking into a similar property.  I plan on getting the house raised up about 3 feet.  @Adam Greene and @Colleen F., do you think raising your respective properties would have made any difference? 

Thanks in advance

All,

I'm investing in a market outside of my own and have a couple of properties I need rehabbed.  I found a couple of contractors who came with very good references but after digging a bit, I find out neither of them has a GC license.  Both are working under someone else's GC license.  I'd love to hear from other investors if this is normal or if it's a huge red flag.  Would love to hear from GC's as well who do this type of work with those who don't have that license.

Thanks in advance

Any appraisers going to the BP conference?  I'm looking to connect with a few.  This is an area I know very little about and would love an opportunity to connect.
