We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

We accept cash, credit, check at any time of the month, for any period of time.  

The state’s housing is also ranked as the fourth most affordable in the country.Alabama currently has the second-lowest average property tax rate in the country at 0.4%, which helps investors keep more of the money they earn.

When I allowed HH properties at my company, we screened people to the degree we could (credit, background, income, rental history), but you still end up with some percentage of "crazies" who can derail the entire property and force out your other tenants.  

You are either paying with a higher rate to receive a lender credit, or paying the costs at closing. 

They are subject to a credit, criminal, and eviction check just like other perspective tenant candidates.One thing I would suggest is asking them how much their subsidy is for.  

Hey Tony,None of those are bad options, honestly if you have paid off investment properties; the best terms are probably going to come straight from a cash out refinance.Line of credit is a good option due to only paying on what you use but if your planning to start construction immediately I would go with the cash out, its going to be less headaches as well.

Lowest interest rate was 6% :)  remember the days of thumbing through that thing trying to figure out the payment on a 75k deal.. find the 70k  then the 5k and add them up..

If so, you should not be paying taxes, rather you should be getting credit for prorated taxes from the seller on your closing statement.Then, when you say you are closing the property on June 30, I assume you mean you sold it on June 30.  

Most of that credit goes to the staff but thank you.
