As as  long as the tentant covers mortgage, I'd pretty much be happy.

If you are continuing to pursue this, I’d suggest having an attorney experienced in environmental issues assist you in the negotiation and due diligence.

Hi Travis, I’d be grateful for any help!

My outstanding loan balance is 163K @ 3.5%I calculated that I'd clear 900/mo after expenses.I was planning to buy my new house for cash, but with the market where I'm moving/buying I'm having to go about 100K over what I was planning, so I'm taking out a 50K loan for that property.

If you have a specific questions I'd be happy to help.

So, I'd say get with a contracting firm that has a GC for your project. 

There are two companies and split about 60/40 across them.1) My dad has been using his HELOC but it's a bit of a mess on accounting, so I'd like to get away from that. 

I'd recommend speaking with your tax advisor to discuss this further as what I said above may be outdated as I know the Inflation Reduction Act changed a lot of the energy credits for both individuals and businesses.

If I hadn't just switched to a brokerage that I'm happy w/, I'd talk w/ you about it.    

I'd suggest that you drop by a police department and ask them, especially if they have a community officer.
