Would a crypto investment account be acceptable to a lender as 6 months reserves?  

Looking at another rental, this would be my first "rental" loan and they said they want to see 6 months of PITIA which I have but tend to keep my money in brokerage and crypto accounts.

I wouldn't be paying for paint 2yrs in unless you get a rent increase to cover the cost.  We have let tenants do improvements on there dime with approval of color and material with the use of a contractor.  We love it when the improve our property and they tend to stay longer as well.

On TIME!!  Whatever way the renter chooses.

Having the same issue in Tampa.  This week alone we had our Cabinet contractor, cleaning person, 2 survey companies and lawn care company all no show no call for the second time this month.  

Personally I am licensed HVAC contractor but can't get employees worth hiring, or they come for a little while and go to a high commission sales company which I've been trying not to become.

Is this a one off build or are they building multiple?  If its a community or large builder they probably know where the appraisal will come in and since you're using their lender you should be ok.  Last thing anyone wants is the financing to fall thru.

When we showed one property they most people commented on if the fans stayed, we always said yes but included the are not guaranteed(meaning we won't replace/repair).  On another property we have none and it hasn't caused any issue but our area rentals are hot.

You can always go monthly and see how much you use the Pro features.  So far I've used the rental calc analysis way more than I thought.

We have friends that do this but make the boat separate rental agreement.  Personally I wouldn't want the risk/liability of the boat rental.

We did not buy a Dr Horton, we looked a them but ended up with another builder of similar quality.  Dr Horton is a trac builder so its not the best quality but I wouldn't hesitate to buy and or live in one.  I personally think Dr is better than several of the others in the area.

I like Wesley Chapel better, we recently bought a new rental in that area.  Wimauma might have greater growth potential but have not researched it enough yet.  I live in the Wesley Chapel area and am actively looking for another rental here.  Schools are full as soon as they open, the school system can't keep up.  We've only bought in neighbor hoods we would live.
