It's been my experience that the properties that have been neglected to the point where the city has to get involved (building violations) have far more issues inside the property...but that's just speculation on my part.

Now the bathroom is 'speculator beige'.....

I can of course only speculate because I don't have your credit report in front of me.- Creditors are actually supposed to obtain your consent prior to running your credit.

I am speculating it will sustain some growth in the future with the addition of the Navy Special Warfare compound, but is anyone else investing in IB right now? 

Heloc might cost you less if your going short term but you might be risking your home if your speculating and fail to make the payments.

Appreciation is more speculative than an investment.

He should just sell it retail value, which he seemingly is but that is just speculation. 

IMO, ultimately the metric that is most important is IRR, but that requires more speculation (essentially it's COCR, plus debt pay down, appreciation, etc).

I also use Turbo Tax and had no problem with it.Just pure speculation here, but I get the sense that what they don't want are people claiming QBI benefits for things like Triple Net Leases (i.e., where the tenant, as opposed to you, your agent or your contractors is responsible for conducting most lease related activities).

I don't own in Brooklyn Park so I'm speculating here, but Minneapolis also has a conversion fee and it referrs to turning a owner occupied single family home into a rental home with a license.
