That's $100 a month saved away for a future car that you can pay off with cash - no financing.I can tell you what I would do, though:Sell truck after home refi (lowest I'd take is 21k) - have 4k cash at my disposal after loan is completely paid off.

I would check into your obligations as a landlord to tenants for your state to make sure that none of the claims hold any merit under this.

Can't claim to be successful yet as I'm just starting out and working a full time job like yourself but wish you the best of luck as you find your path!

Earlier this year I used Oliver from People's Electric (http://www.peopleselectrical.com/) for a complete rewire of a duplex during a full gut rehab.

I'd check on what the fair market rents were regardless of what the seller claims he was getting.

I would just be completely straight up and honest.

We paid him about 80% of his fee, he hadn't completed the project and it turns out all the work he DID do wasn't done correctly.If there is anyone that can provide some advice on how to deal with a situation like this, it would be greatly appreciated.We feel like we really got "screwed" on this one especially because we tried to follow all the correct steps in hiring a GC.

The triplex is completely occupied; how would I be able to utilize FHA financing with this scenario?

You could also complete a full 1031 exchange and then refi to take cash out (You would not want to refi the existing property if you anticipate selling it and doing a 1031 in the next few months).  

I have recently completed all of my course work and am now ready to take the California State Exam.
