Same for electrical.....replacing an old GFCI is fine, bit if you're adding more outlets or especially running a new circuit, you'll technically need to get a permit and have it inspected.Now does everyone do this?

I don’t want to underutilize the equity on this property so I feel like taking out 100 grand on our Primary where the rates suck already and it will only cost me an extra 600 or 700 bucks a month. 

@Caleigh McDonough age old question.How long will it take you to save the extra funds vs how much the property may increase in price over that time?

If the search is correct you keep adding 3 months back and 1/2 mile out until you have them.The best value analyzer in my opinion is only accessible by realtors.

If you would like to be added to my list, please contact me directly or post your information.  

I've reached out to lenders here on Bigger Pockets- but their rates & terms seem high (DSCR or just not good terms)- I qualify for a conventional loan, but my DTI is almost maxed so why pay an extra 2-3% DSCR when I don't have too. 

This will have the added benefit of networking with other agents. 

If the note holder purchased the note at a discount he can accelerate his profits and increase his ROI by offering the borrower an incentive to pay off the note early, or to make e extra payments.  

Tools like Roofstock and local property managers can make remote investing manageable.If you prefer to stay local, explore adding an ADU to your property for rental income if zoning allows.

Same logic applies here as it does to your previous experience, there's just simply an added layer of the income produced by the property.
