However I would have to double check if you can use the 8826 or if you have to convert it to a deduction.

You'll take a 1.75% hit on your money up front then 1.35% per year for the FHA mortgage insurance so I guess if your investments earn more than 3.10% the first year and more than 1.35% for every year after you're ahead of the game.Keep in mind your paying this percentage on your entire loan balance so if you have a 200k loan amount and 100k invested somewhere you need to double the rate of return required so 6.20% the first year and 2.70% every year after.

We double checked the security deposit list with what was written in the rental agreements to make sure they jived.

The good news is that the bathrooms were remodeled by the previous owner prior to us purchasing the house, there is a brand new HVAC system and new double pane windows were recently installed as well.

For instance, I have a consumer Barclays card that gives double points for utilities spending that I use on a multifamily project where I pay the water each month.Also look at how you want to cash in rewards.

Once rates start going back up into the high single digits or double digits, then you want to start saving up money to pay all cash (not paying down those low interest rate loans early).Sounds like you're on the right track - best of luck with the purchase!

I will take a vinyl sided cape cod and add $6,000 in fake lick and stick stone on the front, take a single car width driveway and make it a double width.

I am getting a double security deposit, a one month non refundable pet fee, plus the months rent, like $4,500 total.

I would not trust the software, it may get you close or in the ball park, but even then I would still double check the numbers.Since you are already drawing the layout, etc, just call around and price the materials from big box stores like Home Depot of Lowes, or whatever is in your area.Also, get with a GC and get an itemized cost estimate.

Environmental issues can be expensive so if they don't want them I probably don't either.I can find a sale transaction and take control of a property and pass it on using less than money for a tax lien.Heck, I can get an option on a note, get the loan refinanced, buy the note in a double closing arrangement and get a return on my investment that circles the moon easier than buying a tax lien, waiting and hoping, but that's me.It may be a hot aspect in some other places, it's another way to make money but it never got my engines revving.I'll go listen now, always up for anything new. :)
