I finally fired them and my property is SOOOO much better.

And do not even think about using the illegal basement as-is...imagine a fire breaking out and someone getting injured or worse....that would all be on you.

If a landlord plans to hold the property for a while, we always recommend an annual lease, ending to align with the summer leading lesson, or staggered with their other leases depending on the situation.  

Lessons learned?

Lessons learned!  

Some can charge less on a job and some charge more on a job. 

Hi Joel in Greenville, North Carolina-You have a rental property held in an LLC and you are looking for a lender who will refinance it.I would look into a Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan or DSCR loan that uses the rents to mostly qualify the refinance and less on you personally.

Lessons learned is not to buy a property with a high HOA.

While the $600 per month insurance bill is hefty, I remind myself that being closer to the ocean would have meant even higher costs.One of the key lessons I've learned is the importance of timing.

Hard lesson.
