@Hieu Bui Your numbers are a bit off... roof itself will be close to $10k.. you have soffit rot and that might be rotted inside into the trusses... yikes..I saw ceilings that were leaking as well...Personally, I’d get a waste contractor bin.. remove all the crap, take a log screwdriver and then start poking around... you can see what’s not visible...Once complete, do a materials cost list.

Don't waste any time in small claims court.....especially here in Chicago!  

Agent just alerted me to the new Maryland HB693 bill that went into effect Oct. 1 2024 limiting security deposits to 1 months rent.

Sometimes, the threat of legal action can prompt a more serious response, but it’s also possible they’ve hit significant roadblocks that they’re not effectively communicating.4.

But a cash out refi is good if you want to use those funds to buy a LTR. but you gotta find one quickish so you don't burn wasted capital

Quote from @Gregory Wilson: My post was supposed to address the cost of borrowing money.If you borrow $100,000 of your primary home equity at 7% and then invest it in a property that earns a 12% return, you effectively make a 5% return (12% income - 7% expense).

Just 2 months after the store was running I wast told it was shut down.

I ask that pets stay off all furniture, are crated when/if left alone, and are cleaned up after inside (fur, if applicable) and outside (pet waste).

At least more cost effective than SFH.
