You already have all the paperwork in pdf 's Hopefully new lender has a web based app that you can upload and see what you sent them and see the progress.

In other words, these areas are the path of progress/improvement/gentrification -- whatever you want to call it.I notice that inland Long Beach is quite red but with long arrows.

(FHA ) I’ve been looking at areas I feel will progress in the next decade.I’m definitely in it for the long game.Any advice is much appreciated!

Hi Yacine,Maybe pay a younger relative to sit on the stoop all day (or the one next door) and take pics of whoever is doing it.Go drop off lunch and snacks to check on the progress, and to allow for breaks (and it may be more than one culprit).Good Luck!

Anyway, if such scenario were to happen, would it warrant the 5-yr (per Eamonn) or the 7-yr (per Michael) recovery period for depreciation?

It’s important to try to set a schedule with them but when you look at the big picture, it’s important to measure progress in months rather than days or even weeks.

If there's progress and communication most Realtors can explain this to their sellers.

I will give an update on how things progress.

How did you find the contractor and who is going to manage the progress?

For example, if interest rates change or if it's an all cash offer, the step by step progression to rate of return, etc.
