I'll even review any existing surveys for you at no charge.I hope things work out with the neighbor!

I was hoping to put that money down on the new place to lower my monthly mortgage payment (paying PMI with current mortgage), but the timing of the sale couldn't work out.

From experience, I can tell you that there is a direct relationship between POHs and more intensive management. 

Or do you find the person putting down the equity usually wants a larger percentage if it isn't a labour intensive property like a fixer upper or BRRR? 

I didn't realize this was non-owner occupant property.I'm not sure of how to work out the logistics, but if the person gifting you the funds decided they wanted to be paid back, you could both sign a note for longer term payback, say 5 years with a very favorable interest rate.

A dining room can be a dining room, a play room, an office, a video game room, a workout room (yes, I've seen some of my tenants do that), or just a place for a ton of crap to land.

Bring it to them and work out the details.

If they were, the landlord should be allowed to work out a plan between the tenant and themselves, or the government should give the tenant assistance to pay their rent that is due!!

I need to pace myself so I don't waste money early while I'm learning This is in tension with needing to scale to meet my 1st quarter goal Plan so far: I've heard 5k/mo in marketing is a good place to start.

Didn't a ton of people get protected from eviction already without needing to work out "sexual arrangements"?
