If it's a larger organization, feel free to inquire about their different staff qualifications.2.

We should know in about a month if it will work out.With that said, I would not recommend getting into larger multi unless you have a mentor or partner.  

As for the comment, it actually is sort of true, absence of an agreement, the landlord is required to pay for the heat. 

If you had multiple renovations to make at once that would be a larger expense and difficult to save up for then a HELOC might make sense.

On the newer VA Renovation loan I can say for certain that you can take 180 days to make a larger rehab that includes structural changes ( knocking down walls etc.).

@John ThedfordIs the slowing rental market indicative of a larger real estate slow down in Sw Florida or do you think SFH rentals are just over bought?

The access to the car wash, what type model it is, the traffic counts, how many other car washes in the area, sightlines to the property ( on a hill,down in a hole,level), any cross anchor larger feeder traffic to site, parcel size layout and shape, etc. all play a vital role in the long time success of the dirt value along with other demographic metrics of course.There are not newly minted national credit leases at 9 caps with retail.

There are also other ways to jump into larger MF such as syndication. 

@Amanda Hillard just thought I would post this as well here in case anybody else searched for this sort of thing but you can always post in the Texas forum for some great local answers. 

there is a long thread going right now on the risk you take using IRA money to buy fixed assets.being the bank is more appropriate as long as you pick good notes.. what happens when you landlord in a IRA you cant commingle personal funds with the IRA asset so you get a bad tenant that does lots of damage you cant use personal funds to fix it.. so if you are going to use IRA to buy you need much larger amounts of cash left in the IRA for any unforeseen expenses.
