It will keep payments lower and you can always pay extra if you want to pay it off faster.

So the value for sellers is no holding period of expenses and half the agent fees.Additionally, investor companies that join the program can have access to an extra deal stream of properties. 

To give you an idea of the extent of the projects, we ripped out the kitchen, removed a extra stairwell, moved a bedroom wall that was off the kitchen, cut concrete and added plumbing to make the bedroom a laundry room, converted the old laundry room upstairs into a bathroom for my daughter, stoned a fireplace, new flooring and carpet and ran all new electrical and piping to the new kitchen.

Again, this will take some more research too, but there are just poorly presented opportunities that with some extra digging around you can find some information that is valuable to your personal investment criteria.

If the property is vacant for 5 months, you do not have an extra $5k deduction.

Don’t tack on any extra time to close.

Electrical, Kitchen hoods/cabinets/or shelves, Level Basement floor, Down road potentially add extra bedrooms, (Seen similar buildings finished 3/1,3/1,2/1)? 

My Question: Is the depreciation so much more substantial for a free standing single family home over a townhome that all that extra worry about sprinkler systems and exterior maintenance is worth it? 

Plan on extra time.

This leaves extra cash per month to save for the next investment while I fix up the property on the evenings/weekends.
