The stucco itself is not falling off and seems to be in decent mechanical shape with quite a bit of chalking.I would like to coat this old stucco so that it spruces you the look of the siding and adds a water resistant but breathable layer.I’m considering either painting it with a masonry paint like what Home Depot sells (Behr brand) or applying an acrylic stucco finish.

I'm also brand new to investing and in a similar position as the OP but with $70K and was looking at some of the new luxury condos in Tysons Corner / McLean.

Hello,My name is Nick Flanders and I am brand new to real estate investing in New Hampshire!

@John Moore  Since you said you "recently" acquired this duplex, and the tenant is paying "way below market rent", I'm going to make the assumption that this tenant was already residing there when you bought it (since I doubt you would have placed a brand new tenant there at "way below market rent"). 

If anyone has any suggestions on any of the following circumstances of my current situation it would be greatly helpful as I am brand new and would really appreciate any and all help.1.

I was wondering if anyone knew how much it cost to build a brand new home on an empty lot?

@Jennifer GatesHi Jennifer, I think some agents do have "lead capture" on their websites, but I really think our websites are mostly for branding.

Can you explain the situation a bit more, @Toya Oliver?

I had one brokerage tell me they didn't care if I did management as long as the branding was separate, but then I received their contract and it clearly had a clause stating all realtors under their brokerage shouldn't engage in "other real estate activities" in writing which conflicts with what the rep said. 

Are there other ways of avoiding the due on sale clause, or has anyone had an experience with getting a bank to refinance but under a brand-new LLC with zero history?
