If the first condo was purchased this year you should be able to use a lease to wash that payment and the appraiser will give you market rent for the new condo

(I felt really bad for him, and am not at all on board with shaming your kid like that, so I was matter-of-fact "Okay, no problem" and gave them new sheets/took the old ones and washed them; the end)

I’ve been told by a tenant that everyone uses the water hose to fill up portable pools,wash their vehicles,spray the sidewalk and driveway.When my lease clearly states NO CAR WASHING on property.

For instance, I never expected my basement to be cleaned of cobwebs or dirt on the floor, but City Waterproofing power washed my basement for me.

Wash, rinse, repeat every 3-5 years.Personally, I think the best thing you can do is to be open minded and ensure that you have options.

Even if it is not a savings but close to a wash, I would still consider the refi because it would give me the ability to substantially increase the limits on my existing HELOC. 

Mine did too at first, but reality set in after a few months of washing dishes in the laundry sink, and having plastic hanging in the shower, her enthusiasm waned.I'm not suggesting you don't do it, just pointing out that the idea of it and the reality of it are not necessarily the same. 

The total debt service would be basically a wash with current NOI, and cash flow would be low even with the higher NOI, but it'd be 100% OPM.

Maybe it just needs to be washed with a vinyl rejuvenation cleaner versus painted.I would post a picture here on BP and get some opinions.

If you don’t account for this upfront and a washing machine goes up, then the roof needs redone in 4 years, or the garage door needs replaced- that will eat into any cash flow you have built up for x amount of months.
