I guess I’ll just have to spend the money extra time doing each calculation out on paper it seems like a bunch of people have had this problem.

@Tyler Smerz - If you can qualify for a conventional loan and can afford the extra 1.5% down payment, I'd recommend going that route over FHA so that you can save yourself some money on the Mortgage insurance cost.

I work as a CAD Draftsperson (3D modeling of our fixtures to create blueprints, programs and cut lists) as well as a Carpenter when some extra help is needed on the floor.I bought a little ranch 2BD/1BR house in Milwaukee (Bay View), Wisconsin six years ago and have done a lot of work to it over the years - new custom kitchen, appliances, refinishing of original oak flooring, A/C, bathroom and 6' fenced in yard.

Though we started the eviction process in spring, Massachusetts tenants rights laws, poorly written old lease and COVID are making it extra slow.

If you was loaded with enough money to do the rehab out of pocket how is taking a few extra days to get the draw money from the bank a big deal?

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it.We have a 12 page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Any thoughts on what to do with the extra land? 

At times it felt like a waste that just because of the buyer's 1031 exchange, the "easy" way was to double close and pay all those extra costs, but I remember that it was because of the 1031 that they were willing to pay so much.

There's a dog and cat that live here so that's extra cashflow as well.
