They rent fairly quickly due to being nicer properties with nice amenities (all have new laminate and carpet flooring/stainless steel appliances/new fans & light fixtures etc)My current financing plan is to convert the adjustable loans to fixed rate terms  with my business partner co-signing (She is a nurse anesthetist).My main concern is finding financing once I quit.

Hi Danny,You must be investing in some war zone type areas to want steel bars on windows.First thing I would look at is your area in general.Define if you are rural, suburban, or urban core.Then locate nearest fire and police stations from your property.

Exceptional work, my day job recently remodeled offices, looks similar, the contrast between white walls, dark flooring, newer lighting, stainless steel appliances, looks great!.  

Hi @Ron Steele thanks for the definition of the "C Property" I get it the analogy now :)

So I have a few specific questions on these new safe harbor rules.There are some very helpful existing blogs and threads covering these topics in general.One very helpful blog is Brandon Hall's blog:Understanding the Safe Harbor Rules and Keeping Money in Your Pocket, as well as Robert Steele's thread: De Minimis Safe Harbor Election (expense rather than depreciate?)

By doing this, you will open up 1-2 slots available for Fannie Mae purchases going forward.

But my tenants are pipefitters (they can change a hot water tank), boilermakers (can change a hot water tank with their eyes closed), electricians (can replace a fuse box with a breaker box), electrical crews (can wire a 2 story house for cable tv), scaffold builders (can trim a tree with a pole saw), welders (can replace the factory exhaust with a custom stainless steel exhaust on a riding mower), construction foreman (can add a bathroom counter and vanity).

(Note- I cannot dismiss the need for an efficient elevator model of these (Silver wave)- but the costs go up significantly)We are moving into a product that is all steel, panelized, and uses our repetitive design.  

Steele,Good point of clarification.
