If you want to roll three properties into one large purchase you may want to consider a reverse exchange to make sure you buy exactly the right property and get some extra time to sell the old properties.

However, I think for your rental it'll add that extra "something" that makes people want your rental.

If you need and extra hundred or two a month look for a part time job. 

My new loan officer is telling me that it has to be put back towards the loan.I was hoping to see the contingency reserve at the end of my rehab to complete extra work that was outside of the SOW.  

1) i know how to build it... my biggest concern is the permits.. how hard is it to turn a 2 bed to 5 bed.. permit wise.2) also how much more can you charge if you have 3 extra bedrooms?

The story behind this guy was he had an extra property that he had to kick his son out of because of drugs and such.I asked him if he would sell it for what he owed on it and he said yes.

That's really not much work for an extra 10% LTV.

So while I like to see underwritten deals (on the top sites where the due diligence means something), because there is an extra level of due diligence going on, I also look at the ones that don't do this, and just apply more due diligence myself.

I've run my calculations and it appears to be an excellent return.What sort of extra due diligence (if any) should I do for section 8 specifically?
