After we refi they will leave about $30k and I'll leave about $15k in the property.

I'd leave the HVAC and the gas meter alone.

I have some money from private investors and for a normal project this would be plenty but for this one, it just about covers the all-cash purchase leaving none for the renovation. my question is, can I put a loan on this house after I buy it with cash?

I drove down in the fall for the property tour right when the leaves were changing - wow, very nice.Your Class B deals are going to crush.

Its best to leave this to a professional. 

Should these notices go through certified mail or can we leave the notice in their mail boxes?

Under a term lease, you aren't really able to control when the tenant leaves, they leave when they want to even if it breaks the lease.

Leaving them at ground level is asking for a lawsuit.

@Sebastian KressleySo you’re marketing a house that’s still occupied and they may not leave until October ?

I don’t want to because my tenant is older (and a single person in my unit, so a pretty low maintenance tenant)—and I’m not sure she can afford it, but I don’t want to be screwed  when she leaves.
