The GC does charge a bit higher because they are floating a larger portion than normal jobs.   2) Cash/Hard Money/HELOC/Private Money: If you can pay for the property and then refinance out as you will be living there that might be the least amount of red tape.  

OR, if you can get the rehab done quickly, then do a full-doc with a 7 yr ARM and maybe your rate will float down as things improve and you can avoid a second refi.

If you have any questions oh, there is a lot of information about this system online including some introductory YouTube videos and miscellaneous worksheets floating around.

Sure enough, the other units looked like a dumpster fire floating down **** creek.

@Ashley Cao a simple analogy and in layman’s terms, its like floating your money around in stocks a avoiding taxes on gains as long as it’s being used towards investing.

You won't ever see our stuff floating around on the web, because I don't allow it.

Refinishing would take way longer and be much harder To make them look even lVinyl is just a better product all around there is no excuse not to with the textured and scraped nobody can tell if you have pets or kids vinyl it is a no brainer I have a German shepherd and after 8 years it’s like new not a scratch she has hAd accidents as a puppy no big deal vinyl is water proof hardwood isn’t, anyone can lay A floating floor refinishing takes skill.

I used the deal analysis spreadsheet floating around BP and I should net $100 a month after all expenses and reserves for capital expenditures (monthly repairs, property manager, etc.)  

Wallboard inspection - before tape and float, a 3rd party wallboard inspection is required.

Use that time to get your inspection, double and triple check your numbers and maybe even float an ad or two on Craigslist for rent to see if their is interest in your areaPersonally, I buy  HUD homes that may be as far away 6-7 hours from my house.
