Eat at places there.

I have been told that I should take out intrest only morgage rather than a capital repayment since it will eat into my profit.but how do I start paying off my properties?

These were largely sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones.The DTI percentage range varies by lender, and is less than what you will find for an owner occupied property, due to lender risk.

I agree about having the pre-determined move out date as it would continue to eat into the cashflow for however long over the 1yr I stayed there (looking to do an FHA loan or similar alternative).

What’s your thoughts on taxes eating up your flip profit?

This is key, if they miss a sagging floor, foundation cracks, roots growing under the driveway, it will eat up your budget quick.

If they choose to close I don't want to eat 60k to fight over 2500 bucks, but it does really stick in my craw and I would like to file charges for a false lien at least The fact it was filed 2 days after list seems retaliatory and vindictive.

That's going to eat in to how much cash you'll get back out. 

I am very aware that I want my cake and to eat it too.

What I didn't account for was 6 water heaters eating up $7800 worth of what would have been cash flow.
