Also seems to be an issue that many of the people if not most are small contractors...so they're great with one job, but if they get 4 at the same time, it becomes unmanageable for them.DO NOT pay up front no matter what they tell you. 

The last thing I want to do is deal with a catastrophic issue while I’m galavanting across the globe or have to drop everything because I’ve decided I had enough.

The first Acre is a Cleared Lot & we plan to build on it.The second Acre has a small 661sq ft House on it, and an existing foundation for a 1392 sqft house which a builder started but stopped construction on due to not being paid as the HML would not issue a draw.Entry - We currently own 3 properties we are almost done remodeling and we plan to hold.

However, there will likely be unforeseen issues and costs that always go along with some rehab projects, so by no means is this the easy path. 

They are often quite simple, have few parts, and can be easy to troubleshoot and even do some routine maintenance and minor repairs yourself.I've had to deal with a couple furnace issues in the last year, in both cases a bad logic board was the cause, and we only discovered this after having multiple HVAC companies come out and assess the problem, struggle to find the root cause, often replace other parts unnecessarily, and ultimately shrug their shoulders and recommend a full replacement at $5k+.In one case, I went online, bought a logic board and installed it myself to fix a furnace that wasn't working consistently.

I do have a bit of an issue with your overly bright cheerleading though:- a PLR is not a legal precedent.

You may have issues getting loans with conventional programs due to your mortgage as conventional looks at your personal DTI.

My question is, since it was a 1031X when he purchased it, can he technically refinance it (and for what purposes) without penalty?

Hi biggerpockets community,I could use some advice on a situation that has come to light with my current lender.I refinanced a duplex property in 02/2021 to a new lender.I am just finding out today that during the refinance process the new lender/title company input the address incorrectly and only has one side of the duplex address included on title and not both addresses.This incorrect adress situation has caused a series of insurance billing issues that i am just realizing and the lender will not let me include corrected addresses without proper title or usps confirmation.

Well, you found out marketing was poor, pricing off or there is supply/demand issues.
