When the property is owned "Free & Clear" There is a lot of flexibility when the property is free and clear.

Have you ever wondered why builders risk insurance is more expensive?

In order to fix that, the answer is more.

With inventory up a solid 50.1%, buyers have a wider range of options and a bit more time to find their dream property.

There are pros / cons of whatever way you go about it plus a lot of unknowns.If your dad owns the place and it appreciates a lot and he decides to sell it, the gain can potentially be tax free which you wouldn't have the option for if it was a rental.I personally wouldn't do business with family.What if you own it and he rents it from you and you both have a disagreement on rent increases?

All of the builders I know could build a lot more homes if:1.

I am wondering if it makes more sense to just deal with the large upfront cost to have the roof done fully or if repairing the damage will end up coming back to haunt me.It's a rather small house at just over 600sqft, for an addition is it really just a matter of getting estimates for the addition and comparing that to the additional rent I would get and seeing if it's worth it?

Charlotte is a great market (though it is seeing a lot of new construction this year!). 

This isn’t about pitching; it’s about understanding their world.Above all: LEAD WITH VALUE.When I talk to wholesalers about my transactional lending, I always look for more ways to help.

I noticed a lot of posts in the facebook groups I am part of both on BiggerPockets and other real estate investing groups in the last few weeks.
