I know there's the inspection period and buyer must perform due diligence BUT it never is normal to research permits for every single plumbing fixture, electrical box, all liveable areas, etc.

As you're already replacing the old tile floors with LVP, installing new toilets like the American Standard Cadet 3 during this process is practical and will provide a more modern and efficient bathroom setup.

If you do buy a new build, make sure you still get an independent inspection done and regardless of where you buy, go and look at the property in person during the contingency period. 

Vendors come and go, so they may have periodic void in certain niche vendor skill sets.

@Tim Bender  Are you only pursuing deed's after tax sales where there is a redemption period in play? 

I'd prefer to use RentRedi for those things, being from the Bay Area it seems highly logical to me to use a digital platform for everything, it is much more efficient and cost effective.

Even then, there not doing too well. eXp thus far is the leader in sorting the most efficient manner of doing it all, at lowest cost.

And I have had an out of state rental property taxes increase 50% over a 1 year period!

Enjoy our vacation rentals for longer periods of time.

The challenge that many borrowers run into when looking for larger equity lines with limits  of $250k+ is that they typically require full income verification (not always bank statement and DSCR exist) with lower DTI ratios (43-50%) however although the repayment scheduled is based off a simple interest only payment, (usually a 30 year amortization schedule with the initial draw period of 5-10 years) the qualifying rate is based off of the converted twenty year amortization schedule (240 equal installments) of the payback period.
