I am sorry that the storm that passed through just prior to your stay required emergency roof repairs. 

The city may require more off-street parking as well.

Hi Grace, I have an amazing DSCR lender that has no seasoning period requirement and an amazing property manager (both a lot of my clients and myself have used!).

My lease requires professional carpet cleaning, which would cost more than $500 for a home of that size.Yes, it's reasonable to reduce the cost because she was such a long-term tenant.

Just keep in mind the process can take a little longer since you’d need to work with contractors and follow FHA’s requirements.4.Your End Game: Whether you’re planning to stay long-term, rent it out, or sell once the work is done, it’s important to have your exit strategy mapped out.

I am sure the interest in that hard money isn't great.All DSCR loans I have seen require at least 12 months.

Fix and Flip -Requires a minimum down payment of 10% with 100% of the rehab financed. 

Your $80K HELOC can serve as the down payment, as most lenders require 20%-25% of total project costs upfront.

If you give someone over 19% membership interest in the deal, the bank will usually require a personal guarantee from that individual. 

Are you looking at properties that only need "cosmetic" rehab or are you open to deals that require more rehab?
