You risk reputational damage on future deals.That said, if you have the time before sale, and the property is priced correctly and the lender gets paid in full, go for it!

Hi @Dominic Marshall, Investors can do a 1031 Exchange for foreign property if it is going to cause them a U.S. income tax consequence. 

Try to and you'll get blasted out of the water.When a lease attempts to address every little issue, you'll likely be found as being unreasonable and allowing the tenant the right of quiet enjoyment, you shoot yourself in the foot again.If you rely on a college student base, you'll get a reputation and the kids (if not the college) will black ball you, you'll get a bad reputation for being whatever.

The home isove in ready and the seller said they are willing to work with a FHA 203k, but I'm having trouble finding a reputable lender.

You want an accountant that can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the tax consequences of the decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Which company is reputable out there still.Looks like Texas Pride will be a no-go for me based on the previous comment.TIA

Time = moneyIn regards to the poster, if your happy with his quote for the work, if he has a good reputation why do you need to see a "break down " it's non of your business what he's paying subs, his markup his labor rate etc.

Consequently, the quest began several months ago to find more creative solutions.

Hi Sam-In my lease, I have a section that states "no improvements/modifications to the unit without landlords permission." if you have the same general section in your lease, I would send a compliance letter to the tenant and let him aware he needs to take down the makeshift room or consequence xyz will happen as this could lead into future issues/modifications.Best,Garrett

So really you just need to go with a reputable contract.
