Typically this should stay between the tenants and their car/renters insurance but... because the tenant is shoveling on your behalf you could also be liable.

Just stay put!

Stay clear of lawyers as long as you can ;-)

Hi Account ClosedCan you give some more details as to why newbies should stay away from HML?

However, it probably won't impact your career path vs just having a CPA until you're trying for upper level management.Because of these reasons, that's why I generally recommend staying away from the MSA and either doing extra classes or doing an MBA (in that order of priority).Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions!

BRRRR is common in commercial and your existing lender will need more of an appetite for a refinance if they know that they are going to loose the loan.Fannie, Freddie, and some local/regional banks actually have a supplemental loan feature that facilitates a BRRRR...the original loan stays in place and you get a supplemental loan when the property has been re-positioned, rents raised, and stabilized.There are also construction/perm loans where rehab is financed during the IO construction period and then the loan starts amortizing later. 

I am currently in short term rental at my new duty station and a colleague owns the house I am staying in.

She may just be uneducated about the preferred vendor system, so tell her what she gains by staying with your agents.

My vote: stay away.

My intention was to allow the current renter to stay in place for 3 months, end the lease at which point i would do the rehab.
