The house is rough, but we have experience remodeling and have a GC and an Amish crew ready to go. 

I recommend buying a 2-4 unit property to house hack rather than buy an individual apartment (condo or townhome).

HML puts buyer into title .. buyer house gets rehabbed... 442 refi and HML cashed out and owner has their rental. prior to 08 though you would normally get 5 to 8k cash back instead of putting money in.

That makes sense @Brendan Ferguson...having someone on the other side of the transaction like a friend from the fire house will make HUGE DEAL!  

The house is worth $850K with a mortgage balance of $350k and a HELOC of $200K (used). - Can we claim after the sale that we’ve made $850k - $350k - $200k = $300K or does IRS not consider the HELOC in the sale please?

I got one today at the store in queen size for $12.99, the king size is $14.99These are reminiscent of the Charisma/Berkshire comforter that I have been using for the last 7 years in the lake house as well as at home.I will say that these new ones are more of a thin blanket rather than a thicker comforter.

I have an option to buy a 4 bedroom house in Ocala for $296,000 at 6% interest amortized for 25 years ballon payment in 10 years.

We are the ones coming in and returning dilapidated & distressed houses, some that have been vacant and sources of problems with drugs and squatters for many years, back into functioning homes to communities that desperately needs affordable housing... where we are actually resented by the cities, placing one barrier after the next in front of you... 

The house is in my hometown, I'm very familiar with the area.
