We then spent around $30,000 out of pocket on renovations, including repairing the roof, upgrading the electric panel, installing new HVAC, and putting in a new kitchen.After completing the work, we refinanced with LendingOne using a 30-year fixed-rate DSCR product at around 7%, which resulted in a net cash-out of approximately $15,000.A couple of things to note:I'm out of pocket on this property for around $40,000 ($25k down, $30k rehab, minus $15k recaptured).I'm thrilled with this amount since it's far less than our "normal" 25% down strategy would require based on the higher value.The property appraised for $330,000 after the renovations.The key point for me is that this property is now netting around $800/month in cash flow.

We are doing some new vinyl plank flooring (not through the entire house), paint on the main floor, minor electrical work, replacing a door, new ceiling fan, minor plumbing, etc..

I know in Washington state a home owner can do their own work including electrical and plumbing, but as you pointed out has to live in the property for 1 year after completion.If you get licensed as a contractor (in WA state it takes some paperwork, filing fee and insurance/ bond, no test, no experience etc.. )  Then you do the work under you contractors license and no holding period needed.

Two to three months right before she had to leave her amazing job didn’t stop my electric bill from being so unusually high my electric company even contacted me to have my home checked out by a professional electrician for anything faulty.

I was fine but folks basically wanted to rent for less than my cost of electricity... haha so that one was a failure but the 2007-11 years which were pretty apocalyptic :-)  I don't think Margaritaville is ever going to make sense as an investment property because of the prices and the HOA fees.

These inspections should include electrical, plumbing, and septic/sewer contractors (to address the underground infrastructure) but also can include pool, home/building inspections, asphalt, and more, depending on the park.
