Hey Rob,First off, congrats on your upcoming settlement... that's a big deal!

First, you always wind up being in for more than you budget, always, and two if you are cutting the capital requirement needed close then you can go under and default.Truth be told, to get through a deal and afford: Down Payment, Closing Costs, Holding Costs, Deposit for contractor, taxes, insurance. 

Unfortunately, my first experience with Section 8 will most likely be my last!!!

Having a hard time deciding between a regular cleaning service and a full service mold remediation company.

The proper timing and structure of that loan are unclear from the information in your scenario.

Now, the question remains whether the A’s stadium or Bally’s new resort will take its place—only time will tell!

Right now is one of the hardest times to be a realtor.

The key is when the property is available and actively marketed for rent.If the separation isn't completed until 2026, you could still deduct the portion of closing costs allocated to the rental unit at that time.

I am opening to hearing about different financing options so I will be reaching out to set up some time to talk.

My plan was to buy this and live in it for a bit, but then eventually rented out as my first investment property.
