To my surprise, I can count on two hands how many times a seller/agent has actually called/emailed me to verify the POF.Often, one can obtain a letter from their bank stating the account holder's name, the date, current balance, etc... and that should be more than enough to meet anyone's requests. 

Outside of real estate, I enjoy going to wine dinners, charity functions, date nights, piano bars, and nice dinners with my amazing wife.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

If the rent amount, due dates, etc. are specified in the lease, there’s no need to provide an invoice.

Like the saying goes - you date the rate and marry the house.

As long as the Hap is signed they will back date it.

Also if you're using conventional financing, you will need to wait at least 6 months from your purchase date to use a new appraised value for a new loan. 

To solve this, I built a custom mobile app to handle rent payments and due dates because no other management software can handle the payment schedules or turnover.

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

My next goal would be to rent it for that and not take any cash flow from the property yet just keep it in the reserves then try to refinance at a later date or see if the home appreciates enough 

Are you up to date on all of your licensing and permitting to legally rent this duplex?
