We plan to build up and leave CapEx reserves in that account, but if we have an unexpected large expense sooner, we would have to transfer more personal capital in.

Unfortunately I'm still looking at injecting some capital to get it nicer, but looking to get it stabilized with a renter sooner rather than later. 

We had been brought in early because the doctors wanted to get our little guy out sooner than he was ready.

On hotels.com there are tools to sift through any list of properties based on an array of optionsNotice you can not only specify various amenity types, but can select accommodation type, neighborhood type etc... kictchens, internet, gym, business facilities etc... is the very least of your concern.This isnt just a tool available in New York only by the way... all cities basically.

Some states if the property is  not home owner occupied/vacant you can foreclose sooner.

I am in the beginning stages of saving up cash for my first deal and my IRA funds would get me started much sooner. 

That's it ... that is how you best tailor the message and configure the reno to end up with the result you want on appraisal.Now, granted, there are still some dumb@$s appraisers out there that can still screw it up for you even if you did everything right ... that is why you need to keep multiple profitable exits and sufficient margin of safety to cover any such unforseen events ... for example, if you are leveraged to the hilt on hard money prior to refinance then any little hickup in any of the steps can put you over the edge, and sooner or later you're bound to get burned ...

I don't have enough earnest money to spend out of my own pocket, so I need another way to come up with the money sooner than later.

Unfortunately, I am currently paying down a lot of debt or it would be sooner.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I thought WI state law says the landlord has to give the tenant at least a 12 hour notice to enter unless it's an emergency or the tenant agrees on a shorter time (like written in a lease perhaps or you call them and they say it's ok to enter sooner).
