I have analyzed the hold option prior to closing to make sure that if I decided to hold, this deal would cash flow.

I would hold off until after the election.

, Buy property off market to cut out some seller costs and get the deal at below-market value, Would an interest-only loan be best for your hold-term and strategy?

They also have real cashflow that lets me hold it. 

You'll probably do well whether you sell at the appreciated value, or hold on to it and get a better tenant at current market rent.

Do you know how to negotiate and hold contractors accountable for renovations you can't do?

Looks like my family may end up using our timeshare this year, so ended up putting renting out weeks on hold until further notice.

My husband and I started out holding properties in our own name, and later developed an LLC structure (which also moved to a new structure later on).  

I am also 50 so hence my aggressiveness on the timetable.Thanks for the reply and I am sure there are many ways I can drive this off the rails if not careful so I would hold on any congrats but thanks. 

Has anyone else had this problem, I've removed the baseboards and tapped it back together once already but it continues to separate, not really sure what to do, it looks great and holds up super well, except for the gaps!
