If your floor is not level, you may need to prep it with a self leveler product, which can be expensive.  

@Dick O'Hare I have not used Blueprint's products yet, but I have a business partner who has worked with Jeff Welgan and that's how I was introduce.

It allows you to put 5% down, whereas the minimum for a conventional product is 15% (I'm not a lender, but that's the last I was told by my go to lender).

I looks like the former, based on the following definition --"The term placed in service means the time that property is first placed by the taxpayer in a condition or state of readiness and availability for a specifically assigned function, whether for use in a trade or business, for the production of income, in a tax-exempt activity, or in a personal activity."

@Rys F.Be careful on the dumpsters - they get filled the trades will hit you up for delays and lost productivity if they are full and not emptied and they cannot do their work.

It was a very productive visit.  

Hey- Tiamo from the BiggerPockets product team here.

And that’s what ppl think they can find if they listen to real estate podcasts that set improper expectations (and really just want them to spend money on their products/deals)That being said year 1/2 can be rough with unexpected (should have expected) repairs from the prior owner.

@Joseph Chiofalo has some great nationwide STR investment loan products and fixed rate second/Helocs for investors loans clients tapped into recently. 

If so, how was your experience with their service and loan products?
