Check the mechanical and structural areas for the home including heating and air conditioning unit, hot water heater, roof, etc. 

Between architects and pulling building, plumbing, electric and mechanical permits, that can take quite a bit of time.  

I see so many smart people wasting their time on this data stuff which is just a subconscious mechanism to not talk to people.

I am majoring in mechanical engineering and I am also involved with an on campus real estate club.

Email me and I can set you up with auto email listings. 

While it's likely that it could be auto renewed, there is less stress knowing that you are set for 20 to 30 years than wondering if you will have everything wrapped up and paid back when your heloc comes due. 

In short there are mechanisms out there to invest in affordable housing, they are just fewer and far between.

If it’s your first property and you’re not worth more than $1m, you will get significant interest rate advantages for putting an investment property in your personal name and just buying an umbrella policy like $1-2m (mine costs me like $300 and also covers if I have a catastrophic auto accident). 1% interest rate differential on 30 year loan for $500,000 can be tens of thousands of dollars. (5,000/year more then declining as you pay off the principal, but a ballpark of 2500x30 is $75000 more in interest (deductible)).

Rehabbing houses is not something I have done before but my mechanical inclination should allow me to pick it up with some practice and I figured a small single family rental requiring a mostly cosmetic rehab would be perfect to learn with.

If the debit is rejected, a $75 late fee will be applied for each rejection and that it will auto reattempt on each Friday until successful.
