Even if the deal closes I wont make 100,000$.

If it's tight or you're uncomfortable with the tenant you have in there from a confidence perspective, especially if this is a first deal, maybe meet in the middle and get a lender at 75% or 77% (doesn't HAVE to be at 5% increments) that wont make you season, and leave a bit more money in the deal, but sleep better.Overall, if I cash flow well, have/keep reserves, and am comfortable I fixed everything in the house, I like to max out the LTV on refi.

There is no such thing as a "safe and stable" investment in real estate if you are going to be active or passive. you can buy the best property in the best area and have a tenant destroy the place or have it mismanaged that can cost you.Check out the syndication group on how many people were promised "safe" or guaranteed returns and lost little money to everything.

WE wont put it on the market until its about 30 days out from CO. the other market were we are active Loudoun County VA We have 3 subidivisions going in the platting stages from 35 lots to 250 lots.. all of them have contracts on them from National builders the 35 lot is Toll  the bigger ones are Lennar..

Finding contractors in Florida after 2 hurricanes wont be easy or inexpensive 

I think it is very unlikely if at any time soon that the state allows a jurisdiction to require the removal of safe unpermitted units (it likely would mean the end of the housing crisis).A legal ADU is worth more and will be easier to get rebuilt if destroyed.  

And now pipes froze cause no heat, and now it's $14k more to fix pipes, I gotta walk away" and "seller" says "like hell you will, you destroyed my property, you messed up my credit, now I'm getting foreclosure warnings from bank, YOU CHEATED ME". 

I wonder if he dealt with occupants differently, they wouldn't have destroyed the place.  

I know i personally wont build anything with adjoining walls as the long term liability is to much risk for me.

that didn't make sense to me that if i have my ira with you then you will put who the owner is but if i don't have it with you you wont' put anything.anyways, she def didnt' give me indication that she exactly knew. maybe i had a bad agent and since i was already skeptical of using a small bank, that def turned me off.at chase my account shows that it's a business account under an llc. i am the manger of llc, the only thing that worried me is that they put me as a the owner of llc. this seemed no diff to me that when you go get an ein, it also puts you the owner of llc. if irs itself can have this limitation in getting the ein, then surely they would understand the limitation of the bank. besides, i have a fully complying operating agreement in which i have a clause that explains while irs ein letter shows me as the owner, in reality it is my ira that is owner and that that there are limitations on irs website when obtaining an ein. i will jsut be adding a similar explanation in my operating agreement about bank acct and have all the supporting documentation in case if it's ever needed. but that's where i am at.i wish this process was simpler/ easier. it is also very frustrating that the custodian doesnt' telll you anything. they all market you can have a checkbook ira but don't really guide you in HOW to do it practically. all these rich ppl are doing it and i doubt they are going through all these hoops. ...
