Since the HVAC includes heating, I also needed to pay for a heat pump permit, bringing the total to $290.I scheduled a virtual inspection for this morning.

Obviously this probably means the end of your real estate investing in that area if you don’t feel comfortable with the higher loan.

Wow, so many of you responders are obviously NOT taking the time to read the expert responses!

My property manager then sent another technician who said the gutters need to be cleaned and recommended installing leaf guards around the entire duplex, along with larger downspouts and overflow guards, for a total of $3,013.

Total cost materials only was approx 50k, that's 10+ years ago.

There is much more money needed in totality than just to close the deal.

Totally, I've had those types of conversations as well and stay away from them trying to overly sell, it's way to fishy! 

I would think not as you have to have less than 4 total mortgages, including that one, and it must be for owner-occupy only.

Selling them at a discount for $3,700 total. 

It's not always obvious.
