Upon closing, we will have 45 days to identify 3 replacement properties and then 180 days to close on one of those 3.This seems like a concerning setup.

Hello, I have rented out a Single family home on Jan 1st 2024, tenant was brought in by an agent and setup lease as well.The tenant profile was not so great, but it was empty for more than 3 months and I reluctantly rented it out.Since then, tenant was paying rent, but on 5th of every month after couple of followups.Last month they pushed it to 15th asking they were hit by sickness, family emergencies and BS, I said its only one time pass and they paid it on 15th.Now August 1st is upcoming, they are requesting for a call setup to chat, not sure whats that abt, but I presume to buy time.BF and GF signed the lease, it appears things not working out well between them, only lady is  answering emails/chats/calls.

Education is a cost.

If I spend money to renovate/fix up a place to rent out, can I rent it for more or at market to recoup my cost?

Hey there @Javian Moorman - Did you ever end up finding a quality and cost-effective countertop contractor in Chicago?

Your options would be to sell it, and most likely take a loss on it as you also will have closing and realtor costs involved which you can assume that would be 10%.

Yes, currently there are new builds going for 30k off, with builder buying down points, and covering a portion of closing costs.

I'd be open to some consulting to see if I can help streamline what you're working with, however I know when we were at ~15 units, there was no way to justify the cost for something that wasn't lower-end, off-the-shelf software. 

In Georgia my average materials cost on a new roof is $2,850.

'Cashout refi' will confuse your lender and cost you more.
