@Joshua Lanzieri when renovating older properties there are almost always negative surprises.Go watch any HGTV renovation show and most of them will have this as a cliff-hanger, forcing the choice of either going over budget or cutting back elsewhere.10% overruns happen often, but 50% is NOT acceptable!

The Housing Choice Voucher program here is run by CMHA (Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority).

I've got a few more properties with a similar plan in mind—refinance, extract the equity, and use that to build toward my bigger target.The goal for me this year isn't just to buy more doors, but to make a strategic leap into larger-scale projects.

A 1031 exchange is a smart choice for your parents, reducing immediate taxes to $70K (capital gains on $300K boot + $25K depreciation recapture) versus $148K without it.
