If you are doing direct replacement, like replacing a sink, shower, and the stacks and pipes are staying, you probably do not.

I am house hacking it, so I will be living there for at least the year minimum, but don't really plan on staying longer than that.

Pad Split tends to have shorter stays. 

@MikeLambert thanks for all the insight on Tulum I love the town and would like to purchase A condo For myself don’t care if it doesn’t make much money  but obviously would like a great location I am a dual citizen and want own property in MexicoI probably won’t stay there much if at all I just love to buy real estate one of my addictions 😂Searched online There are so many developments from $100k - $200k would be my comfort level if any of you guys have recommendations on location would appreciate it 

If you need to leave in less than a year, you need a really good reasonbecause Fannie/Freddie/FHA/VA and other secondary market makers don't like foryou to get owner occupied loans and then not stay in the property.

I’m actually at my place right now doing some maintenance after a guest stayed for 2 months.

As things get more difficult more and more and just staying higher end. 

.- Seal the crack only from above and hope it stays static.- Stabilize the foundation with helical piers on the exterior. 

If you are planning to stay in the Investing field, you need good real estate agents to help you in several ways.

Looking for advice on good areas and areas to stay away from.
