Due to being in a semi-save-mode I am going to house-hack and roll renovation costs into my loan giving me the favorable cashflow without putting the reno money upfront.

It shows the lender your interested in investing, you have assets, and are semi competent. 

I've heard people are critical of reverse morts as being semi-predatory lending, although legal.  

I've done a few with some semi custom shops around me but I ended up switching back to Ikea because of price and ease of install and design.  

So far this isn't looking promising, but I was warned and semi-prepared going into this.

I’ll use a semi gloss bright white on the ceilings and trim.

My understanding is he is wanting to slow down and semi retire.

Looking forward to trying to make something work and maybe turn around life into semi retirement with such a property.

A bit more work on my end, but (hopefully) with more return.Would a semi-TurnKey strategy like that juice up returns?

New tenet refused to move because of the smell.I'm out $2000 to replace older carpeting $200 in base molding $850 in lost rent $275 in unpaid water bill $60 in semi gloss paint And 80 hours of my labor -$850 security depositNow they're threatening to take me to court for their security deposit back.What do I do now?
