I want to know who's responsible for this repair based on my lease.

We used to do a 3 night minimum stay on weekends, and then would drop the rule if it was less than 5 days (i.e. last minute booking). 

However, you can negotiate the amount based on the extent of the inconvenience and expenses incurred by the renters.

This leaves friends/relatives wanting to help you out (emotional based investing) or people unsophisticated and naive (likely disciples of a currently heavily promoted guru).When I, or any other investors (with significant capital) I know of invest, either equity or debt), we only consider deals where (1) the “sponsor”, or borrower have a significant investment of their own capital, unless they’ve owned the property many years.  

I based this off of the number of new construction homes in state, how much vacant land, how much those things are selling and their availability, laws, among other things.

We are looking for an attorney based in Texas since our LLC is registered in LLC.

0.16 acres and I would say $180,000 or less based on the comps. 

Are most lenders looking at my W-2 history and DTI to determine whether I qualify for the refinance or is it more based on the asset and/or its cash flow?

Based on your responses, the safest route to avoid FIRPTA tax is to do a simultaneous exchange.

You'll bring a downpayment based on the total project cost and you can get seller financing to help with some of the equity injection.
