I'll float the idea of him taking the upfront costs and getting reimbursed at closing.  

(also I should mention I'm a CPA/accountant, been using QuickBooks desktop since I took over for my dad, he passed away 2 years ago so now I'm up from 4 doors to 11 with my 80 year old mom who's home health aids are the biggest cost to us, she's getting hip replacement surgery on Wednesday....so I'd rather ask my BP team to get this right the first time.I'm willing to pay for software, don't charge an egregious float on top of that. 

It seems like a lot bigger DIY job than Vinyl.That little place could really use some curb appeal.I took the pic above and floated some curb appeal things onto it that I'd think about if it were mine.A new door opening on the right, double the window size, and a more modern color scheme, a little wider siding, etc...Which is a lot more money than just residing in vinyl.I used GIMP to make this (quickly), and not an architectural program which is why it looks a little cartoonish.Good Luck! 

Short-term rentals have again had a banner season here on Hilton Head.

For individuals who don't want to tie up lots of money for years to come, they often float towards Fayetteville or Greenville where deals often are cheaper and better short-term return to leverage.  

If you have used a product that seems to last a long time,  I’m all ears :-)Any floating floor is meant to move a little.

"It works" sure it could, as you are blasting tens of thousands of texts a month.Its like fishing for TunaIt is like nuking the Atlantic and then checking if there are any dead tuna floating among all the fish and sexy topless mermaids and mermen (for those of you that are into that weird poop).

I suppose floating rate is good if you anticipate rates to go down.

Then, you could use part of it to pay the balance on the property stretching out the term or pay interest only for a while which will increase your cashflow and get you additional capital to use if you need it or to buy the next rental.Plus, some lenders will let you lock the rate on the used part of the HELOC so it does not float up on you.

Also in that price range if worse came to worse I could just float it until it was rented.
