I wanted to get thoughts on if anyone has had experience performing a refinance prior to renting a property while utilizing BRRRR? 

It is not the possession of "proof" that is supposed to make me believe you are credible.Credibility is the (desired) RESULT of completing tasks, or how you act.Let me make it even more clear.NOT because you perform task A, B, and C, you are now magically credible.

Your husband does not qualify for REPS anyway, but you do not need REPS to benefit from the so-called STR loophole.More importantly, STRs typically create large tax losses in the first year only.Most importantly, taxes are never a good reason to choose a poorly performing investment, IMHO.Read this post: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1122635-the-s... 

As I thought, get the purchase agreement that includes a special stipulation saying we'll pay the unpaid taxes.submit to title company and perform searchfund escrow accounttitle co will distribute funds at closing.shooting for a two week turn around or less.

I have a duplex with MTR and LTR and it performs at almost 50% COCROI.

If they were negligent in the performance of their duties, then they owe damages caused as a result.

After 12 months expire I would have them sign "my lease" (which would be very similar terms as original + additional nuggets of terms I've picked up over time, like inspections - current manager performs no periodic inspections).  

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – and they often select the first PMC they call!

If you are looking for a consistent performing STR assets then I would highly recommend Fort Morgan, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Perdido Key area along the AL/FL coastI have helped many recent investors find turnkeys properties as well as vacant lots for them to build STR new construction homes on.

To be exact a performance or surety bond.
