I have a couple JV deals that are complete trash and also they are now asking me for money.

Could/would Mom be willing to add you to title and you both sign for a mortgage, once renovations complete?

We have many quick rehab deals reappraised and refinanced after the work is complete without much seasoning, usually around 90 days.

Wish we would have fully completed each project before moving onto the next.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

I have them tell me how long a project will take to complete, and then I add buffer days or maybe up to 2 weeks, depending on how long / complex of a project it is and potentially accounting for weather if it is outside work.

Get a maintenance contract on your hard systems that feature 2x a year service.

Your concerns are completely valid. 

Don’t forget the pool area- add pool games and perhaps a feature wall. 

And if you bought this property several years ago, then you probably already have a killer rate, so suggestions to refinance seem silly as you probably already have the lowest rate....especially if your refinance was completed as you were an owner occupant, and not categorized as an investor to a Lender.In terms of tax implications, again, it depends on what your ultimate goal is, but if you placed this into a trust, or even a beneficiary deed, it would pass through to a beneficiary who would not have to pay capital gains on it in order to sell it.
