Delayed gratification pays off!

I am also looking at a new company called Noshable that does grocery delivery precheck in and gives kickbacks as well.

I took the next 5 months to tackle everything myself spending approximately 17k in supplies and tools + paying a plumber and roofer 4k total to fix those issues.

We generally advise our clients to go ahead and pay the recapture rates if death is the alternative.The good news about recapture - the deductions are a deferred tax liability to you, and an interest free loan from the government.

You put on a new roof for $30K but the market won't pay you a $30K premium just because of it. 

Risks: rates go down and you have to pay a prepay of 2 or 3 %; you have to sell and pay the prepay; rents decline & you can't make the payment like any other type of loan; cost upfront a little more than conventional; need to find experienced broker licensed in the state where subject property sits; servicers are bulldogs. 

The price you pay for being part of the Disney World spoon-feed of guests is that the barrier to entry for profitable STRs (ones that leverage close to or max LTV) is very, very high.  

Another thing to note, these are high-paying jobs being moved to Phoenix. 

Right now, the best offers around me are for some 1.3-4 million, that only generated around 100k per year gross, so there would be a high chance of not cash flowing, and paying money, especially with a commercial loan (these buildings have more than 4 units).I was thinking that although the rental itself does not generate money, I would be able to deduct the mortgage interest, and depreciation from my personal w2 income and would be net positive.

I have never been disappointed and have actually thought he pays an extreme amount of attention to my needs for the price he charges.
