@Arun Philipnot sure if i understand your question.if you don't have any cash, period, you shouldn't be buying any more properties. 

We'd have to cash-flow $1,300/mo over that period to make that much, which isn't happening.This is all to say that if you are in a market that has good long-term appreciation potential, then whatever rental model you choose is simply a way to make a little money while you hold the property for larger long-term gains.I'll let others chime in on your specific area.

Here is some key information:Property recently hit the market and has 2 cash offers alreadyThe seller provided a pre-inspection report, which I shared with 2 different lenders, both think it may fail conventional financing due to potential structural and electrical issues (realtor thinks it could pass conventional)Seller has 100% equity but is behind on other payments (not sure of the urgency money is needed)This is my first attempt at an “investment” property so I’m new to thisI see 3 optionsMove forward with an offer using conventional loan pre-qualification-Not as attractive of an offer to the seller-Possibility that appraiser calls out structural/electrical issues that need to be fixed before closing, effectively causing financing to fail- Best terms and fewest loan fees for meUse a rehab style loan such as ChoiceRenovation-Even less attractive than a conventional offer to seller, but less risk of failed financing if appraiser calls out issues-Slightly worse fees and interest rates compared to conventional-Lenders tell me possibly up to 60-90 days closing in some cases, with red-tape for contractor requirements and draw schedules (sounds like the most hoops to jump through during rehab)Use a hard money lender-Most attractive loan option I can give to seller so I can compete-Much higher fees and interest rate for me-need to refinance into a conventional at the end of rehab (not familiar with seasoning periods but I think this is a factor as well)Which option would you do?

If your hold period is short, it may not make sense to take bonus depreciation.BENEFIT - Clearly additional depreciation is the benefit, but only if you can use it. 

Some expenses, such as utilities, property taxes, and interest, incurred during this period may also be capitalized.

That's that's interesting, so if Matt invested$500 over a 60 month period, he would see a total of $300 income from his investment.

It can take up to three days to serve, then you can file in court after the 3-day period. 

You absolutely want to be concerned with this.I would just argue what you're concerning yourself with today may be totally different in that 10-20 year period.

If she wants paid for canceled appointments, then I would suggest you look for a new cleaner.My policy is to keep all funds if the guests cancels within two weeks of their stay, unless I'm able to rent to someone else for the same period/rate.

Lenders typically look for a DSCR of at least 1.25, meaning your monthly rent should cover the loan payment plus 25% more.Seasoning: Some lenders may require a waiting period of 6 months or more before refinancing, so check with your lender to see if this is an issue.If the numbers align, refinancing could allow you to recoup your $136k investment without selling.
