Did not try to research precedents.I just wish that there was a clean legal way to self-borrow without losing the interest deduction on future refi.I understand the legislative intent in disallowing interest deduction for equity refi.

We renovated the laundry room, added a refrigerator and painted the cabinets to bring a fresh, clean look, along with a little bit of hands-on TLC we did ourselves on weekends and during our lunch breaks.

I figure between what I spent getting the place ready, loss rent, and what I need to spend now to clean and fix it will be over $20k.

Left the place a mess and no time to clean it and lease up before closing.

Our cleaner arranged for a vetted friend to clean for her in her absence and then told us.

Your family member is also your cleaning person, maintenance guy, public relations manager, and your property management service. 

Hi BP,I have a duplex in Tampa that after the tenant moved out we cleaned it up replaced the ac window units and repainted.

I added the numbers up you are better off buying a clean title in good condition property.31K+19K+7K+closing cost, negotiator fee I got close to 60K...… If it was me I pass.
