Although the $55,000 renovation went as planned, dealing with unforeseen issues, such as older plumbing, required adjustments.

It’s an older house so older plumbing so def not replacing the entire plumbing.

Hi @Michael Baum, I have watched several PB episodes about MTR, mostly for traveling nurses and insurance displacements and I am interested in learning more but I do not have time to watch everybodys videos on how to get started.

Remember that the more complexity increases not just legal set-up and ongoing fees, but tax prep and advising fees as well.There are several considerations that can go into the analysis of whether you need an LLC or whether a large insurance policy will suffice.

If the taxes are $3K plus insurance at $3K thats an escrow of $500+$1,445.24 =$1,945.24. 

You might also consider holding back some of the sale proceeds in escrow until the seller has moved out as agreed.Make sure your insurance covers any work being done while the property is occupied, and check local tenant/landlord laws to avoid any issues.

Usually on DSCR loans, lenders will provide a preliminary cost breakdown but we usually can't pick the pencil back up and finalize terms until the appraisal report is in hand and expenses (tax/insurance/HOA figures) are finalized.
