I thought he was saying that I could have a larger one brought and swapped out.I just called and they said that there was no discount for having another of the same size brought.

Rent it for a year and then swap it out.

I had not thought about swapping.

That method died in 08 when refi's for non owner occ  went the way of the dodo bird.but like Credit Default Swaps its all coming round again.. like nothing ever happened.again Congrats your financing arrangements are to be commended and are not something that many could pull off.. 

Do not simply swap in some replacement breakers.http://inspectapedia.com/fpe/FPE_Stab_Lok_Hazards.....To me, investors, and retail clients, finding a Stab-Lok should be a negotiation point.

Whereas, when I swap out a broken light switch at a rental house, I think I get a good return on my time going there and putting in a new $2 switch as opposed to having to hire an electrician or handyman and paying $75 and hoping they are honest about the repair they had to do.

You would basically be swapping one debt for another, but as @Lynn M. said, likely losing a good source of reserve requirement documentation.

Keep the same layout/location for the sink and stove to save some costs.If you want to go cheap, you could paint out the cabinets and walls, swap out the countertops and backsplash, and tossin new appliances, but this would likely stick out as a "lipstick on a pig" type job so I'd advise against.
