Welcome to BP! See you around SD meetups

I have drafted plans for covered patios and decks in Coronado, City and County of SD. Which city/jurisdiction are you in? 

@Brian Scott

Im going through the same thing but my loan is conventional and not FHA. I have to pay $500 to get an appraisal but ill do that after I remodel and add a bathroom and install new AC.

What is your current interest rate?

@Barry Clay

You mentioned 2nd lien, is the first lien performing? Why is it in foreclosure? Did the owners pass away? This can drag on for years..

@Samuel M.

I have an excel spreadsheet that you can plug in principal payments and see how much interest you can save. It’s similar to the mortgage calculators you can see online but can add extra payments. It can work on car loans or any amortized loans. Let me know if youre interested

Another option to look at is heat pump water heaters. Ive been doing more reading on this and it seems there’s a lot of options now. Most model requires 110V. And cools the space around it - perfect for a socal garage or laundry room.

Most probably dont know that their marginal tax rate is different from their effective tax rate.

Maybe a little early but dont let that stop you from learning the tax code that will apply to you when you have your rentals.
