living I desert ac units is what we primarily do so when hit with so much on heating wasn't prepared

Of course, there is an issue of where do you live for that period of time to establish that you 1031'ed into another investment property...I agree with @Michael Plaks, I don't know how you figured that savings...As for "...harder to sell to potential buyers," the 1031 transaction is mostly transparent to them. 

@Marko BukvaAs long as you be living in 1 of the units as your primary residence, then you can do an FHA 203k.If this property will be a flip or you will not live in it as your primary, then you can do a conventional rehab loan like the Homestyle or the CHOICERenovation. 

It has a kegorator.I live out in the country and have a few firearms. 

It needs little repair/work as the owner is a contractor and his daughter initially lived in the home, so he's kept it up-to-date.

I own two properties, one my mom lives in and the other, my ex wife lives in.  

Hey Zhaobin, I used to live in Overland Park Kansas and I can tell you it’s a pretty good area to invest for cash flow.

I am a newbie investor and live in Livingston, NJ.

Only issue is the debt service coverage ratio is about 1.0 piti (20% down) will end up at about 2400/mo rent is likely 2400-2500.There is some value add work which can be done in terms bringing the finished basement up to fire code so it can be considered living space.What do y’all think.
