If you put the extra money into it your payment would drop to 760, but your going to have to pay on that 40,000 on your primary residence.

You could lose that much on extra holding costs is this place doesn't move due to the kitchen looking "cheapo".

Should I pull a few extra thousand out of the refinance and hold it to cover like the mortgage when its not rented or any unforeseen repairs?

Permits are given at your local building department.

Tiffany - Just as far as being a single woman, unless you're handy and have some extra time on your hands or have cash to pay out, I would stick to a condo or wherever someone takes care of maintenance.

That's the end of the market where I sell and I can see that being an extra money maker for me, thanks for the tip!

Oh and Noobdog...my original profit was about 40k (after ALL costs) I actually had to think about that one too cause I couldn't remember anymore...lol...all I think about anymore is - how to make those doors fit..will that plumber show up on time...did I pick up that permit?...

Make some extra money and pay your debts, thereby improving your credit.

If I was a tenant I would hope that the landlord would be gracious enough to work something out as to where I would be able to stay the extra week, even at a pro-rated cost.If I was the landlord...I would grant the extra week at no charge considering them to have been good tenants.

Hey I dont mind if they take the extra day, just so I can personally park myself in front of my rental in a lawn chair with a corona in my hand and watch my tenants and their housefull of TJ Maxx furnishings be thrown on the street by the marshall....But either way - they are out, and come April I put 2 properties on the market.
