The agreements tend to outline what is hoped for and expected but nothing is absolute for returns. 

@Jaysson Brooks@Chris LevarekHere are the details regarding the loans:NEW LOANS:The CARES Act which was enacted to provide relief to individuals impacted by COVID-19 allows for increased 401k loans and more flexibility for repayment of these loans.Specifically, you must be an individual who meets one of the following conditions to demonstrate that you have been impacted by the crisis (and it will be your responsibility to retain documents in your files that demonstrates that you are a qualified individual):Individual who is diagnosed with COVID-19, with a CDC-approved test;Individual whose spouse or dependent is diagnosed with COVID-19, with a CDC-approved test; ORIndividual who experiences adverse financial consequences as a result of being quarantined, furloughed, laid off, having work hours reduced, being unable to work due to lack of child care due to COVID-19, closing or reducing hours of a business owned or operated by the individual due to COVID-19; or other factors as determined by the Treasury Secretary.On or before September 23, 2020, such individuals take a 401k participant loan subject to the following terms:Maximum Amount of the Loan: 100% of their 401k balance not to exceed $100,000.

It would have been appropriate to look up the subject area before providing negative feedback on the deal.

Both are highly subjective, based on size/length of driveway, asphalt (cheapest) vs concrete (more expensive vs pavers (most expensive).

There is one IRS-approved method for building or improving that uses 1031 funds.Construction 1031 Rules and Process In a nutshell, it goes like this:You go under contract to purchase the replacement lot in OklahomaA 1031 company creates a brand new LLC to act as holding company (Exchange Accommodation Titleholder)You enter into an agreement with 1031 company outlining your plans in the construction exchange You assign the purchase contract for the lot to the new LLCYou arrange financing for the LLC to purchase the lot (this loan can be from you, a third-party lender, or your 1031 sale proceeds)Loans to LLC is secured by Note and Deed of TrustLLC buys the lotNow the LLC can begin paying for improvements to construct the barn-condoDuring the building period, LLC rents back to you and makes you "Project Manager" to oversee the improvements.Once improvements are completed -- or at the end of your 180 days -- 1031 company assigns ownership of the LLC to you. 

There are a number of blogs/posts on the BRRRR method, which takes advantage of the cash back refi and Bigger pockets also wrote a book on the subject (also available on audio book) the book does a great job of breaking down the pros and cons and walking you through the process.

Relevant data leads to more objectivity and by extension less subjectivity.

Please note that specific information such as the property address and names of those directly or indirectly involved in this particular real estate transaction were intentionally omitted to maintain confidentiality given delicate subject matter of/affecting health, life and safety.IntroductionHaving provided carbon monoxide (CO) testing of gas utilization equipment for well over ten years during the 1980's and 1990's in addition to having learned about the production, mitigation, prevention, testing, and harmful effects of elevated levels of carbon monoxide due to incomplete combustion of natural gas utilization equipment from a recognized leader/foremost authority on carbon monoxide testing in the industry by the name of Jim Davis—senior carbon monoxide/combustion trainer and consultant for the National Comfort Institute (NCI), who began traveling the country during the 80's and 90's conducting carbon monoxide training seminars for building and HVAC contractors, building inspectors, utility companies and virtually anyone interested in learning about carbon monoxide testing and proven methods to mitigate and prevent gas utilization equipment from producing elevated levels of carbon monoxide in flue gas known to cause CO poisoning—has without a doubt proven invaluable in heightening my awareness of conditions conducive to/indicative of incomplete combustion known to result in elevated/unsafe levels of CO in flue gas.

So a lot of renters are still subject to late fees, evictions, or notices to vacate.
