Derek, so assuming I get a 300K from equity via cash-out refi and I purchase a new property in full cash with no mortgage but with enough monthly cash flow to cover the new loan amount of $494 K ($194K + $300K), wouldn't it be okay to take this consolidated approach with one loan with two cash-flowing properties covering the monthly mortgage and other expenses?

But there is a lot of missing info that makes it hard to even begin.As other's noted, it could be any number of things, some more common than others.It might not even be bathroom related, i.e. a roof leak that is showing itself in a bathroom (but presumably this would be present when raining and shortly thereafter).Toilet, could be wax ring or the O ring that connects tank to bowl.

We don’t know any PMCs to recommend in the area mentioned, but since selecting the wrong PMC is usually more harmful than selecting a bad tenant, you might want to read our series about “How to Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”:https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesWe recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

Our private covered dock and lake toys are a bug draw for us in the summer months.Multiple people have said they love the pool table.In our bigger cabin people like the large game room, movie room, custom covered firepit and hot tub.

I have enough for 20% down of the $7 Million I would have budgeted for but wouldn't have enough again to cover the acquisition cost and then interest payments on a construction loan.Any help is appreciated Thank you

Renting allowed them to cover costs and build equity, while selling in a hot market helped them capitalize on the home’s increased value.Let me know if you’re interested in financing options for similar deals, happy to assist!

I was recently laid off and have accumulated about $20,000 in credit card debt, primarily from paying last year's property taxes and covering a few months of living expenses.

That’s perhaps a B area.Do you see 6 inch tall grass, moldy siding, and damaged roofs here and there?
