And a harsh reality check.

@Caleb Heimsoth, @Steve Vaughan, thank you for bringing some practical realities to light.

I definitely appreciate a reality check, but I'm trying to confirm what we can reasonably expect so we can better plan for the future.If anyone has experience using hard money in Phoenix, please share your experience, specifically what requirement the lender had for a down payment.

The reality is you need money for marketing to find deals.

I know it may seem unfair, but the reality is you did not return possession of the unit to them by February 28th or even by March 1 if you still had a vehicle parked on the premises, had not turned in your keys, and did not sign a "Return of Possession" form or something similar to demonstrate both parties were in agreement as to the actual last day of tenancy.In any case, from what you shared here, the property manager reconfirmed by email that your move-out date was March 1, which is consistent with the amended lease. 

Possible with lots of experience, and a track record of success.Based on the phrasing of your statement, I’m going to assume that your interest in real property investment was piqued by listening to the various fantasy stories being pitched every day, via reality TV, guru internet sites, or how to books.

In reality, especially when it is incurred in the same year, we have seen people just prorate the expenses between the properties and take the deduction. 

Becker, a Duke economist, does a good job laying out the financial realities of MHP living.

They do amazing work and Derek will keep you well within your budget and make your visions a reality.

How can I get approved for a higher loan amount to make this a reality?
