I am most familiar with fixed rate PPAs with rates that change by season (monthly summer, winter, shoulder) and time (hours on-peak, off-peak).

The buyer needs to understand that all older homes come with cast iron pipes and will all show aging over time, but as long as there are no issues with draining, it is not something we repair.

There is a lot of loopholes, tips and tricks to take advantage of so just keep having conversations with seasoned investors, Realtors, Bankers, GC's.

My off season was the slowest since the Great Recession.  

When you have STR like airBNB or VRBO DSCR does allow that income unless you can provide a previous 12 month rents received or a print out from VRBO.The alternative to that is if the lender or UW will allow the appraisal to use MTR/STR income/rent schedule if the rents and property is common to the area in terms of rent available for the apprasier to show proof.My advice to you is make sure you do your home work and deal with a seasoned Banker or Loan officer that funds multiple DSCR loans per month. 

I can refer you to some of my seasoned self-storage clients if you send me a direct message. 

There's a lot of opportunity for that in the Highlands area of Denver with some of the older larger homes there and also in Arvada because the hills make it so that some basements are walkout and can easily be divided into an up/down duplex. 

I am a new real estate investor who is looking to close on my first deal in the next 2 weeks and I want to be prepared for tax season.

Older buildings with older systems: plumbing, electric, HVAC, roof, tend to have more maintenance costs than newer properties.  

I was approached with an opportunity and being a newbie I wanted to see is these members made sense to a more seasoned investor.
