Attached is a photo of the window guardI would reach out the building department and ask them what is allowed,  usually  the window air conditioner  doesn't leave enough gap on the sides for a child to fit and you secure the window with brackets in the window tracks, this way the window doesn’t slide up.

I use the Authentic Plank product from Southwind which is an 8mm thick plank and does not require an underlayment.

Other platforms that do the same are include RentRedi, Stessa, Avail, Innago, Apartments.com (formerly Cozy), and TenantCloud.If you want to go a more traditional sense and work with a more mature platform that doesn't bill your tenants you might look into Rentec Direct, Buildium, Appfolio, Propertyware, or Rent Manager.The best way for you to figure out which is going to work best for you is to explore their free trial (if offered).

Not only do I specialize in the Real-Estate side of flips(Also your other strategies, STR/BRRRR/MTR, Etc), I also work them manually.

I have a separate, steady full-time job that would allow me to take on the negative cash flow every month.Note: The home is already 100% furnished, so there is no need to buy furniture.Appreciation and Loan Pay-Down:I would offer $550k as the purchase price.

Increasingly Non-QM or non-conventional lenders (not Wells Fargo or Citi/Chase) will offer International investors financing from 65-80% LTV on SFR & Condos and 65-75% LTV on 2-4 units.

Here is a brief look at what is on offer out there:➡️ Agency loans as mentioned, such as by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

If you want to BRRR there are lenders who will offer you a hard money loan that converts to DSCR once your renovation is complete (and it will save you some money in origination fees staying with same lender).

I'm not sure what the benefit of the scope is, outside of proving to the city that a clog is on their side of the plumbing.

I frustratingly see so many deal offers, particularly in Multi-Family space, where GP/sponsor is putting nothing or next to nothing into the equity portion and is collecting 2-3% acquisition fee/ 0.5-1% loan origination fee/ 1.5% yearly asset management fee/ 1-2% disposition fee and then 50/50 splits to 60/40 splits over fairly modest hurdle rates of like 14-15%, and it seems this latter structure incentivizes GP to take more risks particularly with debt options.
