You will take care of repairs under say $200 or $300.

•Tenants demand prompt, high-quality service and without caring about cost •Vendors seek to earn as much compensation for their work as possible.Balancing these needs requires thoughtful stewardship, strong communication, and a commitment to fairness.

I would be very careful with a contractor demanding a deposit before they start work.

Syndications (but be careful here...I've seen syndications go bad as well), DSTs, Private Lending, etc.

Hi Shayan, You will be able to close on properties quickly and have access to rehab funds immediately if you are able to qualify for a HELOC that can cover both the purchase and rehab.You should be careful though as if you cannot sell the property or you run out of rehab funding, you may end up being over leveraged.

House hacking in a 4-bedroom here could absolutely work if you run your numbers carefully and stick to those “higher-end lower-end” neighborhoods.

The previous tenant was a slob and definitely didn't take care of the property.

I assume cut value by 20%?

Quote from @Jamie Banks: Here's a few things I include in my MTR lease- Utility caps- Outline of the furniture that is included- Details regarding which utilities are included- Outline who is responsible for lawn care / snow removal- List of fees (admin fee, cleaning fee, etc) Hi Jamie! 

Back in the world of 3% rates, you could get a HELOC instead of the primary mortgage and lower your daily balance and cut down the life of the loan significantly.
