Finally, my offer might have had extra weight vs. higher priced offers due to a track record of closing each deal I've put under contract and never re-trading.No need to fix anything on the income side (I proforma a ~5% increase) but there is a lot of cost savings to be had.

Special also picks up water damage and weight of ice and snow, which would be more important there vs here. 

Also, the downside to refinancing is resetting the clock to 30 years and not getting the principal reduction I am currently getting.

A good lender is worth their weight and they (like good brokers and investors) are few and far between.

We have run into this, avoid the property since you won't know for sure if it is legal without going through the process which will take a lot of effort and you'd want a sizeable price reduction to go through the effort.

Combine that reduction in W2 income with the debt from our two properties and we are finding it hard to qualify for more than $300k.

Getting the sellers to pay for some needed improvements with their equity, not price reduction.

My angle to this "problem" would simply to have a reduction in the purchase price for the cost of the job.

Will be buying another in the immediate future.Bigger Pockets was worth it's weight in gold just for saving me from Morris Invest.
