Carl you are right in my wheelhouse thank you for straight talk.

I went ahead and estimated my taxes based on my assumption, paid more taxes, and filed an extension. 

When looking at the numbers, remember if there are condo fees/HOA those add up quickly and depending on the amount, you are likely further ahead with a house. 

We had an agreed contract amount and we did make some changes during the rehab that we gave verbal go aheads to as well as some via email.

So plan ahead.

Just a heads up as of DATE ABC Management is taking over as my property management company. 

I personally did the comparison myself and for my situation (I got 2.25% on my FHA loan with ~82% LTV), my MIP won't need to be paid after the 11th year and I would come out ahead financially in all scenarios (in the beginning because I put less than 25% down, and in the end because my monthly payments would be lower for 19 out of 30 years due to the eliminated MIP after the 11th year).

This seems like a straight forward way to account for it in the future without slowing the process down.

@Anthony BuccaneroWe are about four years ahead of you and it's been great for our family.

If it was a straight forward deal and the terms were say a 1/4 point difference I’d stay local.
