It requires that a minimum of 20% of the rehab budget be used on exterior work and all exterior work be approved by the City.

I am a 70% disabled vet and would like to put the 1500 I make a month towards an investment property as opposed to my savings... my thought was to talk to an investor about loaning me 100k at 15% for 12mos while we purchase/fix/flip etc etc.. and refi at 12 mos to pay back investors money.

I'm always really conservative with my numbers...better to be happily surprised saving more than you projected opposed to a few events tanking best case scenario projections. 

I run the cold water while I am there to keep water from sitting in pipes, which can increase odds of it freezing, especially on exterior walls which is common in kitchens.Even though your lease doesn't specifically call out this information, they are still responsible for the damage caused by their neglect. 

And $47K when left in your own portfolio represents easily another $4K - $5K of annual revenue ( not including any arbitrage on leverage) that you would get if you kept the tax as opposed to that ever so satisfying feeling of signing your name on the largest check you write next year - to Uncle Sam.BTW - Don't forget that an appraisal of $325 is far from a net sale of $325.
