So permits are not relevant to the subject of this thread for my jurisdictionNot sure if there are jurisdictions that require permits for cabinets or counters but if there is, I suspect the motivation is the fees collected for the permits.So permits SHOULD be irrelevant on this thread.best wishes

I charged fees for other violations as well but the fees aren't enforceable here in Wisconsin because the lease did not explicitly state what they would be in advance.

Overcoming Common Financing HurdlesMortgage brokers excel at tackling challenges that often derail new investors:Low Down Payments: Brokers can find lenders offering low or no-down-payment loans, ideal for new investors with limited capital.Complex Income Streams: If you’re self-employed or have variable income, brokers can identify lenders that accept alternative documentation.Competitive Rates: Brokers have the leverage to negotiate better rates and fees, saving you thousands over the life of your loan.Pro Tip: Communicate your investment goals clearly with your broker so they can tailor their search to your needs, whether it’s a short-term fix-and-flip loan or a long-term rental property mortgage.3.

(Granted, I am not factoring in various fees that may be saved by financing at acquisition).

@Orlando Johnson- If you were going with 6% real estate agent fees the $12,500 number is incorrect. 

Fees are really low too. 

This is the best way to start hands down.However, there is the initial VA mortgage insurance fee.

I was one of the fortunate ones that was able to get out of the contract and after all expenses (forfeited deposit, legal fees, holding costs, etc) lost less than $20k.  

New landlords think they will take these fees out of the tenant deposit.  

The income includes things like late fees, a rented garage, and utilities that are billed back to the tenant.
