That would be my only concern unless you have a lot of experience. 

It sounds like you’re doing what you can to rectify his concerns.. but if he is not cooperating- then what else can you do ?

Strangely, they are less concerned with a refi after your 1031. 

If they do, they have a chance to express their concerns and we have a chance to listen.

Anyway, I am looking at doing my first BRRRR and have considered two paths to getting the 'B' done with a cash offer:1)  take a HELO out of my existing rental to supplement the cash I have on hand for the full amount of purchase2)  partner with someone to supplement the cash I have on hand for the full amount of purchaseMy concern is, even though I have excellent credit, will using the HELO for the purchase hinder my being able to complete the refi on this BRRRR?

I am a little concerned about the DOS clause, just because the loan is in my name.

My main concern is that I don't know the weather/water patterns there well enough to know if the issues called out on the report are super worrisome and will need to be repaired ASAP or not.Thank you all in advance!

I have family up there that could help manage the property, so the distance wouldn’t be as concerning to me.

Ideally i'm looking for overall quality of management, ease of use as far as accounting services are concerned, quick turnover time, transparency, and responsiveness.

If they have the time to spend on BP answering a lot of questions this time of year I'd have some concerns.
