We sued on the second home but don't have a ruling yet.

The roof and gutters are only a year and a half old.

Im currently networking to partner up with a home builder here in Staten Island and build Semis on empty land.

I'm an investor and a licensed mortgage broker who has done fix and flips both using my home's equity and borrowing against the investment property.If you (1) have enough equity in your home to fully fund the deals, (2) don't mind tying that equity up for these deals vs saving it for a rainy day and (3) are ok linking the place you sleep with the success of the flips, this could make sense.We offer a ton of different fix and flip programs including putting 10% down on the purchase price and funding 100% of the rehab.

Not all homes are great long term rentals! 

There are some New programs coming for 2025 for primary homes, Vacation homes, and investment properties.

Amortize your major repairs (roof, hvac, built in appliances) and add an estimate for small maintenance.This feels not terrible to me.

I have a similar situation in where I have a home with three separate leases how do you feel it's working for you also do you have a referral code I could use for RentRedi ?

A lot of investors will buy home in their personal name to get better financing and then switch the title to LLC soon after closing.  

An experienced agent will list your property with the language, "no showings until an accepted offer", to avoid violating your tenant's rights to the peaceful enjoyment of their home - possibly resulting in their lack of cooperations and a lawsuit against you.
