There may be some equity that I can tap into depending on the DSR however,  I'm looking to see what other funding options are available to cover construction carrying costs that do not require W2?

The roof needs replaced and it would take a lot of work to make it look nice.

Our weekly short-term rental newsletter covers all things STR here at BiggerPockets!

I'd try to go up on the roof and look to see where the water is coming from.

We recommend you get management contracts from several PMCs and compare the services they cover and, more importantly, what they each DO NOT cover.

To clarify what was stated and what was done…Example: you bought parcel at “Upset” tax sale. back taxes owed etc min bid was 5000$ to county to cover thier taxes and expenses.. 

I was planning to replace the roof in about 6 to 10 months from now, because I ran out of money with the rest of renovations. 

Well, the contractor's price was ridiculous, retail or more. 380-400 a sq for a roof, 4k to paint the interior of a 1200 swqft house., 2k labor to install a furnace, just nuts, so we pulled the plug.

If it said the original terms of the lease still applied, then that covers it. 

We strongly urge tenants to have insurance to cover these types of situations.
