We've limited down our options to a handful of places.

@Sean Gammons I love house hacking and would absolutely do this every 12-15 months if my partner wasn’t totally against moving frequently.

It’s totally reasonable to ask him/her when they’re due to rotate (as they’d be moving) and when they’re getting discharge.

I have started raising rents to market rent one unit at a time to avoid a total tenant turnover all at once.

So with another 100K in construction/fix up cost bringing the total to 500K it meets the 1% rule, obviously I would do more underwriting but I need to be solid on those comps. 

Many banks handling tax escrow accounts for mortgages have mistakenly thought there was one tax due twice/year or totally missed one of the taxes.Investors should research the SEV and the Non-Homestead property tax millage rates to project what the property taxes will be after adjustment.

My thought process going in was that the roof would be 1/4 of the total rehab budget.

I chose the latter, because I used to travel a lot of for work and wanted a hands-off investment.

This sounds like your situation, Brody.It may be easier and more convenient to find one lender that provides both the purchase and rehab funds but don’t feel that your hands are tied.

The total opposite.
