You'll get more inquiries as an SFR.Where else are you advertising it?

The county I'm looking into is so special, they think they are an Independent State. 

If you don't change the insurance, the new owner of the property would be uninsured altogether.If the loan is in your name, and the the property is owned by an LLC, then that LLC offers no protection as the comingling pierces the corporate veil.

Ground-up construction is 10x easier than remodeling an old house.

Not sure in Ohio, but here a license would be required and public health would be required to inspect the kitchen.Small scale might go under the radar but if any health issues came up or other issues that lead to an inquiry you may be exposed to liability.

If they buy something for your property and you pay them back, it’s just like you bought it yourself—so you can count it as an expense in your bookkeeping.If they don’t get reimbursed, then technically it’s a gift/donation, and you can’t deduct it as an expense.

Yes probably. are you capable of giving an explanation to why? 

Hire an accountant—but maybe not for $6,000/yearA real estate tax pro can help you save money, but $6K a year is way too much unless you own multiple properties.

Probably approaching $100k in total.My options seem to be sell and pay an additional ~70k out of pocket to the lender (underwater amount) or make the repairs and hope the problem is corrected once and for all.

If you find an MLS deal that can cash flow, and you can get appreciation, pretty good.Good Luck with the inspection!!!
