I am preparing a strategic plan to leave the corporate world in 24 months or less. 

My travel is measured by cost per mile used to travel to and from the property.

My main concern is the cost of turning the property into a MTR especially with this being my first property.

Take the longer amortization and the lower rate where you can make Bi-Weekly payments and add a little extra each month to manipulate and lower the rate and the term.

The first tenants are moving in July 1, and they have asked me to cover the costs associated with the installation of any new services (i.e., internet), and then they will transfer it into their name at the start of the lease.

@Leo R AriasI am assuming he is a licensed contractor and you have a contract that has a schedule in it.First you can file a complaint with the licensing board then terminate him for cause - but it will cost you 3x the $ probably to fix everythingYou have been too patient with this.

It's now completely renovated and cash flows roughly $100/month.

The worst I've had to deal with is payment delay the first month a tenant joins an assistance program.

We initially met with a couple builders my father has worked with previously and are currently awaiting for detailed breakdown of cost estimates.What would be recommended for taking out a loan for this build?
