And we like the idea that maintenance shouldn’t be too much of an issue for the first couple of years. 

If you set it up with a car rental service like Turo are likely protecting yourself/car more from potential issues and damage and may be able to keep it off platform and only make it available to your renters (not sure on that last part but just a thought).Also, from a lender perspective it could complicate things if you are looking to refinance one day and have car payments included in the lease payments/on the lease.

They are getting what they really want, and you are crafting the deal to where it will still make sense for you.One potential issue is if what is most important to them is most important to you as well.

Hi Krystal,I have recently been issued my Remodeling contractors license.

Luckily for us the issue was not huge, but we missed the inspection window before we found that out. 203(K)’s have higher rates than standard loans, so consider the timing of your refinance (especially in todays environment).
