The "fine print" here is fairly sizeable upfront fees and high interest rates, relative to a traditional construction loan from a bank.  

At the time it was fairly easy to find properties that needed enough rehab that you could really force up the ARV.

@Spencer ManningYour other questions were answered except for last one.S8 vouchers are for a specific number of bedrooms and rent amounts.So, a S8 tenant must find a property with rent that does not exceed their voucher amount.This stops S8 tenants from renting Class A properties and most Class B.Currently, Fair Housing does NOT protect source of income, so unless a state or local government has passed a law stating otherwise, landlords do NOT have to accept S8 vouchers.

You can't raise the rents in a fixed term lease but if it's month to month you may have the ability to make a change with notice (30 days is fair in my market).

To be fair it's possible that the home inspector explained that it's not up to current code but that it doesn't have to be, and the buyer/ buyer's agent may have misunderstood that to mean there is actually a problem with the deck. 

The ordinances only apply to city limits currently so you’re probably fairly “safe” in the county.

I’m in the area around the Fair Grounds and Westbrook Park, great rentals!  

Hello,I'm looking for guidance on how to determine fair rents for a commercial property with two tenants.

The 10 year T-bills will remain about where they are now due to economic conditions that are fairly strong.

It is currently a glorified finished attic with little room- Use addition and raise it up and extend it to the side of the home for more finished space and room for deck, washer/dryer room etc- Make the living space as functional as possible with the added sqft- Add outside living structures like deckThis is a fairly wealthily area and I want to maximize my ROIWhat are some things you recommend for a large scale project like this and what are some hurdles ?
