The folks staying in your unit want a seamless transition to their new living quarters, and the person paying wants an easy way to cross out that line on their to-do list.

Thanks for the insight on prepackaged contracts.

How are expenses so high on this property?

I am having a hard time finding insurance underwriting for the three-family that I am purchasing:https://www.redfin.com/PA/Pittsburgh/7209-Penn-Ave-15208/hom...The only policy I could get a binder on was from Tapco in North Carolina with a $10K deductible for $5500.  

Marcus, you're spot on about the importance of embracing an investor mindset in real estate.

Would I still be able to cost seg on this now?

I found my go to handyman on Craigslist over 10 years ago.Today I would use a local RE FB group or a recommendation from people in my RE Club.

If you had a paid off rental house, and others with mortgages, and you wanted to use the equity in the paid off rental for a cash offer on another property, how would one do that if the DTI ratio doesn't work due to having too much credit utilization with the addition of the new loan.

I try to find ways to force value into the home for a while before I move on.

Lots of cool things going on.
