I actually still have to complete an official walk-through with a contractor and based the estimates on a complete remodel being done - as there is foundation damage and the roof has not been done since the house was purchased in 30yrs ago.

City / county officials should be able to help with this as well. 

Get an official Loan Estimate before choosing a loan.

These are not official lenders of any sort.... just two people I know that have the money to spare and would like to make a little passive income.Couple questions....How do I handle this so that I am completely above board?

Lifelong Queens resident here and I was also invited to and attended the official Amazon NYC announcement at the Governor’s office on Tuesday - mind you, this was not a huge venue open to the general public; small room on the 38th Floor of his office with 50-60 movers and shakers intimately involved in the deal coming together plus the always entertaining New York press corps. - ProofHappy to share some perspective.

Get the home then the next day or whenever you get official title, record the title and the lien for a hard money loan and payoff whoever lent you the money for the purchase.

In my opinion, I would not get involved with any STR until those new rules and regulations have been officially released.

So, brainstorm ways to incorporate your unique skillsets, areas of expertise, and background into your podcast name and flow.Also, I recommend recording at least 5 episodes before the official launch, and release all five in the first week.

Yet never did a official 1031Since I don't often sell, I don't often have profits that I'm able to use to take advantage of these tax breaks. 

They are officially underwater.No way would I as an investor pay them a $1575 down payment.
