I don’t live in the USA all the time (< 1 month last year), so coordinating non-trivial refurb may be awkward, not sure my old handymen etc are going to be available (or suitable) so perhaps something a little more turn key is suitable.

Easy Street Capital is a great hard money lender and they have an easy to navigate and quick draw process and CV3 Financial was able to assist with the refinance.

Let me know if you need assistance!

Just write them off as a tech expense and move on :) Your Accountant should be able to assist here with any edge cases or ones your worried about. 

We wanted to jump in on behalf of RTR to add some clarity and see how we can participate in assistance in this situation where rents came in less than expected, as we are always happy to do.Here are some clarification points to be aware of:-We do understand that rents in SWFL have fluctuated over the past year, which does happen with dynamic markets like we are seeing nationwide currently.

Just that I wanted a house to live in.

The math works out online and tenants already live in these buildings so I know they are liveable; that said, I have not visited the homes or made contact with the sellers. 

(It’s worth the furniture if you want it.)Think of it this way. 1)Lots of cities ar banning STR, o requiring you live in the house while it’s being rented out, or limiting you to a few months.

I live close and that’s not a problem but any advice on n how to handle it?
