If the house doesn't pass the occupancy inspection before closing, the municipality can usually issue a temporary occupancy permit.

The only issue appears to be the missing breakers and it being turned off by the bank.

Also know that building a home seldom goes as expected - I have relatives that just built a nicer house… they thought it would take 9 months… it literally took 18-24 months between delays in permitting and the builder just not being able to get it done in a timely manner - often due to sub-contractor issues.  

While I think I might have paid slightly above the average price, I’m happy with the installation and impressed with how quickly the installers resolved the issue.

A professional study, though more expensive, often identifies more deductions and is better for IRS scrutiny.

Using an unexpected repair as justification for not caring about cashflow as much as appreciation doesn't really address the issue, especially when appreciation also operates on the idea that the property's condition doesn't decline relative to comps.From what I understand about REI and cashflow, cashflow should cover not only PITI, but maintenance, repair reserves, prop management, etc.

We don't have any issue getting it booked up for the season.

Hey @Ricardo Polanco, so I guess I am not understanding the issue.

I have been to the US Court of Appeals though, litigating some of these issues and won.

If you do most things right, most issues are mitigated and it's not too bad, but there's no guarantees.
