@Remington Lyman thanks for the suggestion!

If the numbers aren't there yet, I'd suggest focus on growing your income, look into house hacking as previously suggested, or consider partnering with other investors who can qualify for the loans.

None of the resources indicated the kind of changes to the law as you had suggested.

Just curious where each of you stands on this one. 

After that time, some mom & pop ice cream stand owner will be fined $50,000 by the law for not updating the FinCen after their driver license expired. 

Thoughts and suggestions or too complex and take the hit on capital gains tax as I sell my rentals?

Any suggestions?  

Better still, the recessed handle trim is visibly chipped (stands out as bad.) 

So, you go over budget FAST.So, your Scope of Work (SOW) MUST be very specific as Mr Perez learned when contractor didn't put in new outlets.To "perfect" your SOW, suggest you walk the property with 3 contractors and ask them what needs to be done.

So that’s what I’ll do as you suggested.
