Rents are much higher if we comply and they can test indoor air quality. our Type of Tenants also prefer and will pay higher rents as a result for a Certified Healthy Home.

End of the day, you have to make sure your tenants can afford to live in your property and can pay out of pocket expenses.

Here’s the information$800,000 commercial propertyno down payment 30 year contract at 7% percent fixed.Mortgage is$5,700There’s a small vacant space on the back that you can possibly build a mechanic shop bay on and make some additional income maybe about $2,000 a month.On the front of the property their is a small building that has a restaurant and they pay rent $4,000 a month. 

I have enough savings to pay the down payment (family supporting me in this venture).

Any advice on if we should use it to pay off our loans against two of our retirement accounts (that we took out for the downpayment on the first STR) in order to lower the monthly bills or if we can/should cash out one or two of our retirement accounts (457 and/or 403b) and pay off the loans? 

My question is - Does anyone have any thoughts or wisdom about how to sue the previous seller to get them to pay for foundation repairs?

I am also getting 10k seller credit from seller, and could either use that one to buy down interest rate or just pay off the closing cost. the lender is giving me few option one with higher fund at closing and lower interest rate, and one with lower fund at closing with higher interest rate (about 0.2% difference) With the high interest rate right now, do you think it is better to do higher interest rate, and refinance later or should I just try to get as low as interest rate as possible and do not worry about refinance ? 

During the high pressure sales presentation they pressure people into finding ways to pay for their $35-40k program.

Do everything you can to pay down the debt, and work on side hustles that actually produce income to help accelerate the process.
