While new-home sales are thriving, the rest of the housing market is struggling to keep up.

@Brett Riemensniderif you use a HELOC for the down payment + financing for the rest that is VERY expensive borrowing. 

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Also doing all new plumbing and electric service/panel upgrade to 200amps.

But SFH are already seeing renewals at 2%-4% and release rates up at least 5% YoY...that number is even higher on some luxury ($3k+/m rent) homes as those are harder to find.The rest is entirely speculative.

I would talk to your servicer to see if they can assist you. 

Many ServiceTechs cover this via a service call fee. 

You’re not using a PM, AND you’re assuming you can charge a service animal a deposit and pet rent?

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
