Donald is exercising his free speech (or inciting violence - whichever way you want to look at it) with some of the stuff he says, but as long as he doesn't actually discriminate, then folks would be unable to prove **actual** harm and be unlikely to have a case.However, in some cases, there might be a real possible case for people to use issues such as hate speech, hostile working environment (for his employees) or living environment, etc.It's less a slippery slope and more of a weird reverse ad hominem (arguments against the person becoming an argument against the brand??)

If you can refi in 6 months.....all the better, appraised value or purchase price whichever is less rules. 

I've gotten picky in my search so that whichever property I buy will have access to city water and sewer and also be zoned appropriately.

My questions surround the type of financing that would be best to get into the property initially, my ability to refinance at some point for long-term cash flow, and the legal limitations of intending only to occupy the property for 1 year.I know that whichever route I take, I will be moving out after one year and will obviously want a cash flowing property left behind, but need to consider the long-term costs and legal repercussions associated.

If you plan to refinance further out - say at 6-months after affecting renovations to the property - then it is probably more advantageous to place a closed-term variable mortgage (3yr or 5y whichever is more favourable) and then pay the penalty (3-months interest) to break the financing an re-finance ... a few minutes with a pencil will let you know precisely where than line falls.In your instance you could talk to your lender about working-up both "open" and "closed variable" financing.  

If you have a 401k and it has a loan provision - then you can take a personal loan for up to $50K or 50% of a balance, whichever is less.

Whichever decision you choose you'll want to go all-in and not waver last thing you want to do is spend money on college and realize it isn't for you and have wasted that money.  

On the other hand, if you have a large building it might actually be interesting to see if there is a pattern with certain units "underperforming" (in whichever aspect).I currently track my units individually, although in one excel file per building.
