Now that we are 10 days from closing, I am talking to loan officer to get the Closing Disclosure so that I can know the exact cash to close (I need to move money from brokerage to bank account) and he is mentioning about 2% IPC limit. 

Their wish is to give one home to each daughter (we are three sisters). 

Despite the storms in W FL we are seeing YoY rate and occupancy increases 24-25.  

That's aside from a renter placement fee (from a property manager or real estate broker), so with that into account, it could be about $3000 into the red on year one of a rental lease.

Legitimate lenders may charge a small application fee (around $250) to verify you’re serious, but if someone’s asking for thousands with no real intention of closing, that’s a huge red flag.On a more positive note, there are creative financing approaches out there.

He said he rented a dumpster for this Tuesday but like I said no rent for January and now we are into February, can I change the locks, I want the stuff gone but in a bad situation, he said he will pay me January rent when he gets money, but I'd hate for them to go and take all the valuable stuff and not pay me and leave me the mess, I probably can't hold their stuff hostage, thoughts? 

@Rolayne Taylor We are just alike I started in 2019 with my first house hack.

We are hoping to streamline tenant communications, maintenance requests, and payment records. 

Its hard to do return on investment since we are getting principal back starting year two as we sell..

We are somewhat handy and would not mind fixing up the house while living in it. 3.
