We will focus on rehabbing and BRRRR’ing (Buy Rehab Rent Refinance Repeat) SFR/MFR properties.

I have a friend who works for a well-renowned construction company in our town who has offered to be our general contractor at a discount (only charging us 8% vs. the standard 15%) and "teach me the ropes"/make the right introductions so that I can repeat this on my own in the future. 

It is not taxes, does not report to credit, does not affect your debt to income!

Yes, you get your benefit faster by improperly claiming this an expense, BUT besides it being technically incorrect it can affect your ability to get certain kinds of financing.

The property manager has said repeatedly that there is no way for them to prove this,  but I haven't heard from them exactly why that is.

We charge $595 and I waive it for repeat and high price point clients.The new NAR settlement rules also mandate and allow agents since August 17th to negotiate their own buyer-side commission.

Currently I own a property in Sacramento with enough backyard lot that has Alley access and my current Mortgage is at a 2.5% rate and don't want to touch or affect it.I am in the process of considering a lot split with a plan to build a new doublex unit in the split lot with hard money or a construction loan. 

HUD loans sometimes have specific conditions related to repayment or subsidies that might affect how they are handled.Balance and Unpaid Amounts:The discrepancy you mentioned between the mortgage statement and the HUD loan amounts might indicate deferred principal or accumulated balance under specific conditions of the HUD program.

I am happy with the outcome and look forward to closing this deal and being a repeat investor.

And then I know if the owner moves out, you cant have an ADU, so how does that affect renting it?
