@Tom ServerI think that the 203k is not a good fit for your scenario because you are buying the property with cash and the 203k is a mortgage loan that includes the purchase price + the rehab costs.

For about $300 including delivery and removal of the old appliance, I can have a replacement used washer/dryer in place for a tenant in 0-3 days.

Is that just the origination fee or does that include other items?

I would put in writing a request for all communication from the property manager including the caseworker name for the tenant and name and phone number of your tenant (if you don't have) and start contacting them directly to find out what's going on if your PM company isn't being responsive.Good luck.

By investing, further savings are acquired by being able to reduce one’s taxable income.

Will use my lender Ryan Deasy at Capital Three Sixty who has already done (or in process of doing) 7 other loans for me including a 3 property portfolio refinance.

It’s part of a bigger process (including a will and docs for you if you need help) and you don’t want to miss a step, so don’t just google this one.  

Say a 550,000 loan with 25% down at 10% interest on 15 yr vs 30 yr. 15 yr monthly payment-- $4,40030 yr monthly payment -- $3,600Does not include property tax 

It's becoming an extremely large medical research hub, including Nano-tech and regenerative medicines.

(which appears to be what question you're actually wanting answered)*Insert generic "I'm not a lawyer, consult your own professionals" statement here*First, I have all tenants fill out a worksheet that indicates what type of animal it is, including generic information about the dog such as name, age, breed, and who does the dog assist (if not readily apparent and there will be multiple people residing in the house.)
