But, you're right that I didn't distinguish these from rehab costs, which are also technical Capital Expenses (which I don't believe are part of the 50%).Btw, the calculations I've done in the past have indicated that these types of capital costs should add about 5% to the total cost of holding the property over the long term, so if this isn't part of the 50% rule, you'll probably want to add another 5% to your estimates.

To refer to a coupon rate gives a very explicit indication that the obligation is a security.

You will have to disclose the previous mold, but if you don't draw attention to it, and if there is absolutely no indication it was ever there, the buyers shouldn't have much of an issue.Just my experience...

I am interested in first-hand experience - if you have/had a tenant with disability - please kindly chime inSomeone have inquired about the property and indicated this will be for their disabled son.I made some research and confirmed that LL is obligated to provide reasonable accommodations for disabled person ( http://www.hud.gov/offices/fheo/disabilities/inhousing.cfm) that tenant will pay for.

They indicated that the two would be averaged.

I went onto a major servicer who indicated they didn't care about the loan amount, but the long term customer focus.
