I remember looking at the $60,000 bank account for the rehab at almost zero, still checks to write and still more work I had not even scheduled yet.

So if they can get guaranteed 5% interest in an account they can get their money out of at any time they’ll want 8-10-12%. 

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

Now that we are 10 days from closing, I am talking to loan officer to get the Closing Disclosure so that I can know the exact cash to close (I need to move money from brokerage to bank account) and he is mentioning about 2% IPC limit. 

In addition, all Rent payments hereunder not made within five (5) days of the due date shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) per month"The monthly rent is $1550 so the late fee is easy - I've set the account to charge 5% if the rent isn't received within the 10 days stated ($77.50).

If you don't have a great accountant which most are not. 

My building is in a small community and unfortunately the other plow guys I contacted for bids would not agree to take the account away from their peer.

@Account Closed You are 100% right.

@Nicole GrazianoI recommend that you have a consultation with a real estate tax accountant regarding your taxes.Bigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant. 

At that class of property, the delinquencies are not low and have to be properly accounted for.The reason I asked how long you have owned is that it takes a while to recognize the sustained expenses.Obvious is to get rid of the poor tenant.
