I am going to finish the rehab and get it rented then resubmit for a rental loan.I have used Cashcall Mortgage twice and have been very happy with them but Elite seems to be more flexible and have more options so was going to see if they are competitive.

Buyer go to open house directly.We have this option in Minnesota now, and it looks like in 10 other states that I am aware of (California, Texas, Florida, Virginia, mostly the big population states).

Typically a new roof only makes sense to protect the asset.

That's a typical scenario and could cost you $10,000 - $15,000 so that would be a good starting point for your reserve.But there's more!

If you want more detailed advice, I can provide it.You BEST option is to contact a bankruptcy attorney and find out your other options.

A typical PPM will cost about $10K. 

Holding company typically if you have multiple companies like a property manager, own property and other businesses. you will end up spending more per year on accounting and state stuff than what you make on your rentals. 

The profile of the typical Houston traveler is someone coming in for work.

Focus on understanding the rental market, conducting thorough property inspections, and leveraging owner-occupied financing options like FHA loans.

It’s worth reaching out to your local tax office to explore options.
