I plan to travel down there next weekend (about 3.5 hours away), so I am gathering all the necessary info.If I did cashout refi on my current property, i can pull out $155k towards this but will be left with an additional 45k or so if doing 80 LTV, which is why I am leaning toward seller carry a second mortgage.Lenders out there, now you have my deal, can you do it?

They will be managing the projects and be on site most weekends to oversee development.

Then you've opened Pandoras Box and you instantly have the guys in the HazMat suits with fans and plastic sheets all over.....and a bill for $5000 for something you could have done for $50.I used to do this kind of work on the weekends when the city inspectors weren't driving around :-) 

Most reservations I get in the winter are weekends, but thats enough to keep me happy.

The property will have an open house this weekend if you want to come by to check it out.

Holiday weekend reading for you: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p515.pdf Figure out where you fit.

I wonder if BP could start a therapy group for folks who can't seem to stop doing their own maintenance work on properties :) I hope you have a great weekend.

I usually schedule an open-house style showing on a weekend, collect applications from interested parties that day so basically at the same time, and pick the most qualified applicant (the first one to apply who meets the criteria clearly listed in my ad, whose employment and references check out).

They can easily look at all the expenses broken out if they chose.If you put your cleaning fee into the nightly rate to cover a weekend stay and someone wants to stay a week.

Not a problem, I forgot that this weekend is a holiday and yes, if you find the post that would be great to meet more people on this discussion.
