@Zachary EngenMost lenders will allow a cash-out refinance of up to 75% of the property’s appraised after-repair value (ARV), not the purchase price or costs.

Megan Luckily the math part isnt too high level just addition, subtraction, some mulitplication and division but we as a community can all help you through it.Leave the complicated math for the wall street quantative analysts and derivative traders.

They explained that Fannie Mae (according to an exchange with their Servicing Portfolio Manager at Fannie Mae for a similar but not an exact loan) does not allow PMI removal for improvements already included in the original loan’s scope until after a two-year seasoning period

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Quote from @Corinne Snyder:Hi Michael, my CPA will not allow me to claim myself as a real estate professional with my one rental single-family home rental property because I do not spend enough hours per year running it, therefore he won't allow any overhead expenses to be claimed; only expenses related to the property directly.

Closing sooner means you’d officially own the property earlier, allowing you to give the 28-day notice to tenants right after closing.

This is especially true since I often look for properties that allow for tax grievance potential too further increasing cash flow.

As @Matthew Crivelli said, do not allow a tenant's friend or 'Contractor' to do any work on your property.
