Or just wait until a year passes and he can rent it out  Following - I'm based in California in The Bay. 

Hello @Johann Villalvir,Congratulations your accomplishment.Some background: I am an engineer and what I do in our investment services business is primarily data science and software development.We use data mining software to evaluate thousands of properties based on about 40 behavioral characteristics of our target tenant segment.

Quote from @Samuel Hudson: Hello friends I am new the market and recently bought a home in Weehawken 6 months backs .Its a three family home and we are currently doing renovations Right now.The rent leveling board told me that two units would have to follow a rent of 1650 for unit 1 which has three bedrooms and another unknown amount for unit 2 which they don’t have the information for .The previous seller I purchased the property from bought it as a tax lien .He has kept the property vacant for two years with no tenants before selling it to me .However ,the previous Owner he bought it from must have had tenants .I am putting in a lot of money into renovations and want some clarity on the situation I am in .The property has been vacant for the two years and currently still is as we are doing renovation .It would be really appreciated if anyone can assist me on what information needs to be provided by from the previous seller for me to be able to set the rent based on the market value .Thank you . 

The tenant base, on average, tends to be rougher on the properties, moves more frequently, and cannot absorb any rent increases.  

Hi Trevor,I work at a local property management company based in Kissimmee and we are seeing quite a bit of STR convert to LTR because of the lack of reservations they had this past year.

@David Naphy With a strong credit score you can do better than 8% on a DSCR based cash out refi today. 

Based on my experience with custom home builds, and the photo they attached with my update, the house *should* be dried in within a few weeks.

Financial Freedom Network I laughed at -- after reading the agreement, no comparable value for that monthly price -- 3 or so years ago, if value has changed now, my time-based disclaimer is as aforementioned -- and Legrand would do well to disconnect FFN from his name, as I believe FFN is now out-sourced, whatever.I empathize with you , Joe and the other responders, but when I read Legrand’s, and most of the other guru’s, contracts prior to trying a teaser product, it clearly stated in the agreement that if customer did not want the upgrade service for which the teaser/free product, free video, whatever, was being given away, then customer must cancel within the stated period of time, which almost always range from 30 to 90 days [60 days is becoming more common, as more folks forget to cancel]So long as terms to cancel are clearly stated prior to contracting, I don’t find it unethical, -- and real estate gurus have merely adapted a teaser or rebate marketing technique used in most every industry -- recently even Chrysler cars [try our minivan for 60 days!

It is very algorithmic-ly dictated based on and numbers and percentages. 

From my understanding, based on my experience buying and selling properties in Texas, any known repair or damage—even if resolved—should still be disclosed, along with a note explaining that it was fixed.
