Great to get some encouragement to dive right in maybe a little sooner than I was anticipating. 

   - Don't anticipate many, if any, repairs other than nail hole and minor paint touch-ups   - Written into the lease that I can have prospective tenants visit while she's still there (with notice)   - There is room to increase rent by at least a couple hundred dollars/month (I made several improvements in the time that she's been      there) and it will still be reasonable   - She said she has a friend that may be interested in renting itPrimary Questions:   - The most interesting thing to me, at this point, is the friend - she is familiar with the property and may be able to move-in quicker than someone new (Disclaimer: I have not spoken to her yet, just spitballing).

I would think that I would look at the several I have been tracking already in my unit and see what their anticipated money is and use that to gauge what my discounted price for longer stay would be. 

I'm looking like I'm closing in on my first deal... hopefully, and my lead pipeline is happening, and so because of Pace and the rest of the awesome go-giving subto crew I anticipate being able to get more deals going here in the coming months.

I life in an expensive market living in Orange county and after looking into it, closing cost was a little more than I anticipated and I was wondering if I can including the closing cost as part of my loan. 2) Can I do the same with the upfront mortgage insurance payment?

Primary motivator is to get this cheap money locked for the next 30 years (as I anticipate inflation in 2-10 year time horizon).

The biggest issue, as with most projects, was that the entire project cost was much, much higher than I initially anticipated. 

Would you anticipate any issue from the bank side?

It sounds like you're getting surprised by unexpected expenses, but you're always going to have some type of repair expenses, you just need to budget for them and anticipate them.

I anticipate leaving money in the deal of about $10-15k due to my current lender providing a cashout refinance of 75% of ARV.
