Real estate is very location-specific and honestly BP should require at least a State associated with a user and most posts.With that said, you may not even need to re-sign the docs.

Unfortunately this loan will not work with a multifamily home.I am worried about all the PMI and fees associated with the FHA.

All real estate is local so you need to attend local REIA meetings, any investor meetings you can find on MeetUp.com, local landlord association meetings.This is where you will learn who the players are in your area, how they find deals, how to estimate repairs, how to negotiate with sellers, which attorneys they use, which contractors, where they find deals.And finding buyers when you have a true deal is so easy.

And there are other costs associated with HELOC. 

CNBC has these on their website.I would also recommend reaching out to 3rd party mortgage brokers (as opposed to a specific lender's loan originator), who should know current market rates off the top of their head. 

Are either of these areas far enough away to not have too much headache factor associated?

So then I get a call from an electrical contractor stating that the unit next door is having some issues with their power and they have located that the problem is under my deck, and they will need to remove boards, dig it up, and do a repair.However, a couple of small twists in the story make me nervous.One is that apparently the homeowners are responsible for the maintenance of the power line from from the transformer, so it’s not the association with deeper pockets who is on the hook, its the nieghbor .

I was seeing that my maintenance head was spending 5  plus hours a week at Home Depot, Lowe's and other vendors, mostly picking up the same items. 

If it is determined to be an issue with the materials or quality of our work, we will gladly cover all costs associated with making it right.

If I could get a hospitalization plan, I'd quit my job today and dive in head first.
