There's a decent chance that if you have good credit and improve your DTI over the next year, you can put a Heloc on the property while it's still your primary to unlock some of that equity if needed.

With a recast, my monthly payment could drop, improving cash flow.3.

Now, say in yr 2 you have to do added work and spend another $10k of improvements.

I have opportunity to buy a small portfolio of performing commercial notes with LTV's less than 50%.  

The investment itself seems to have been under-performing since the very first quarterly report.

Strong performance so far.

I'm looking to categorize my buyers and blast out a text message to specific groups whenever I get a property that fits their criteria.I'm sure services like this exist out there but I'm looking for the most cost effective one and I'd rather hear the best from you guys rather than from the salesman pitching their product.Does anyone use a platform like this and how does it perform for you?

I considered suing for non-performance but felt the hassle of doing so would not be worth the benefit.I'm still hopeful and looking in the Flint market, I just would not use them to do so.

Repairs made while the property is your primary residence are not deductible, but improvements can increase your cost basis, reducing future capital gains tax when you sell.

It wasn’t how I wanted to kick things off, but I worked with a contractor to get the bathroom fixed and functional.Once that was behind me, I focused on improving the building and maximizing income:I installed a shared washer and dryer for the tenants, a major upgrade that added convenience and increased the property’s value.I rented out the two garage parking spaces, bringing in consistent revenue.I also raised rents for the second- and third-floor tenants I inherited to be just below market-rate.
