I would do it as a matter of principle, but bear in mind you are very unlikely to ever get any money back... in fact, you are more likely to spend more money than you will ever collect.

But turn your front lawn into a junk-yard dumping toxic waste into soil, impacting entire neighborhood, no not cool.     

If your market has older homes, known bad soil conditions, weather events, etc etc.

From IRS audit experience, think of it this way:If the auditor views the hours as “unnecessary” OR over the top that had no bearing on the successful operation, they will disallow.Real world example: You live in Colorado and have a STR in Arizona.

If you are unfamiliar with how to exactly protect yourself when it comes to writing up offers, you need at bear minimum, an agent.

Specifically, some non-load bearing walls could easily be removed, some new walls framed, and with about $40k, the house would be transformed from an un-appealing 2/1 that would lose $300/mo as a rental into a very appealing 4/2 that would cashflow about $500/mo (including the debt service for the rehab)...

Are the loan mods that FHA does still a non-interest bearing 2nd?

The company that doesn't generate cash of course will crash in the bear market.- Commodity  starting lower and shipping freight cost is off 25% by now, we need commodity to cool before disinflation starts to begin- Also money manager is sitting at the highest cash position for decades,it's very easy for them to buy again when the risk is off after seeing inflation is cooling.- Also, this is one thing that's very unique in today recession, usually, the action of Fed,Bank of England and BOJ Japan are always acting together.

Not quite sure how to deal with it because its description of the current Phoenix market bears little comparison with the real world.Some quotes are:Goldman Sachs expects home values to worsen through 2023 amid continued skyrocketing interest rates and declining housing pricesfour US cities will suffer the most catastrophic dips, drawing comparisons to the 2008 housing crashPhoenix Arizona will likely see noticeable increase before drastic decreases of more than 25%My comments are:We saw skyrocketing interest rates in 2Q and 4Q of last year.

I think it bears bumping this post, since it is spot on.Hey, new investors, be careful.There is a whole "subto community" built on this and it's the old proverb "there is nothing new under the sun".
