I'm looking at an investment property that has an unfinished basement with the potential of having a three bed/one bath rent-able space. What do I look out for if I were to do this? Codes, insurance, etc.

In general, are there restriction on using SDIRA on a development/construction project...we have a first lien balance around $80k and reno should be $250k.

I make sure to send an email with access info to the property one week out. 

Most of investors here on BP have desire to grow and hence having access to the quality team members that can cover the accounting/bookkeeping angle of the process is absolutely critical to any business to be successful!

We are thrilled to be able to provide our current tenants with renovated + safe access to their units, updated interiors, replace ancient HVAC systems and bring their roofs up to standard.

Similarly, US lenders are very restrictive even if they are willing to consider lending to Canadians since they  are Non-Resident Foreign Nationals.

Put NOI in the numerator and divide by Annual Debt Service, must be greater than 1.25x.Costs for repairs really depend on how much asbestos you have (you might not have any) and cost to replace K&T wiring (depends if the wiring is accessible from a drop ceiling, in an exposed basement, open attic, or behind plaster walls that will require some cutting and patching. 

Wondering if it would be better to access a HELOC or use some savings and taxable investment account (about 50k in it) to finance an initial purchase of a multifamily (preferred) or a single family property.
