I plan to hold these properties FOREVER or at least 10+ years (because rehabbed and have management/operations all in place), so trying to reimburse my cash from rehabs, new roofs, etc and recapitalize the value for CASH injection…..instead of selling.

@Elliot EliasBy choosing a max of 3 draws, this implies that as a flipper, one must have the personal funds to purchase materials for the contractor to hit those milestones, then the investor makes the draw as reimbursement. is that correct as it regards to HMLs.?

You can tell them, "If you end up renting the room, I'll reimburse you"....but that's totally up to you.  

You will never recover that investment, so pursue options to reimburse tenant for the power use.

Do you ask your last tenant to keep their accounts active (if they paid their own utilities) and then reimburse them upon new tenant moving, or do utility companies have specials where they don't charge you their regular fees for new accounts.

Never asked my parents to even get reimbursed for gas or time. 

You can also probably get reimbursed for basic repairs "costs" like roofs or broken windows and penalty goes on top of that.   

A contractor should have insurance to reimburse you for example.

This is also why we pay for the move out costs and allow you to reimburse once your next tenant is placed and your property is back cash flowing.

HML is 3 to 5 days later. and they reimburse  you
