For the Baltimore property, take pictures of problems like trash and parking issues, and talk to the neighbor's landlord or report the issues to the city.

My quick research indicates that while there is legal precedent (albeit from 2000) that this would be technically treated as a sale, only the principal and interest paid via seller financing amortization schedule would be taxable.

The issue was eventually fixed but many landlords lost thousands of dollars.

As a broker, I'm always trying to find the best deal for the specific client and property.If you are looking for local private money lenders, your local real estate investment groups might have some leads for you as well.Most institutional private lenders are going to need an appraisal/valuation of the property, and permits to be issued for the construction of the building (if your area requires it). 

If you have any idea, please let me know.thanks It sounds like you are in a difficult situation with your tenant.Regarding the issue with the shower, if multiple plumbers have inspected it and confirmed that it is okay to use, then it may not be necessary to spend the $4000 to repair it.

There is a roofing guy owed money but he isn't going to lien us because he is owed from other jobs from this builder so is suing him.

If using a lender this is a non issue.

We don't technically offer substantial services, so I think we'd take a risk by doing Sch C for the refund this year, especially if we end up switching to Sch E down the road.

If needed, consider mediation to solve the issue.

The main issue here is the insurance problem
