I personally feel in this situation I would have the owner file eviction and get them out before you take ownership even if it delays closing.

My lender only offers 80% of purchase for delayed financing but I have heard of people getting 100% assuming that’s not over 80% LTV.

You sound happy, and I’m happy for you.Not to poke holes at you, but househacking a duplex you got commission on for being the broker while simultaneously needing an FHA loan to contain costs/minimize expenses isn’t something I would count as a 1% property on the MLS as it’s not repeatable, and further proves the point deals are no longer “had” or “found”- they require active participation to be “made”.

You can minimize that somewhat.

Had a tenant years back who always claim check is in the mail, and it's either lost or delayed on many occasions.

The BnB is in a townhouse development with minimal parking other than driveway space (one can fit a large vehicle or two small with a tight squeeze) and garage.

Coming off the heels of COVID, there were definitely material shortages, shipping delays, and contractor delays.

Yes, the property values are reassessed triennially (every 3 years) across the board, but they also adjust the effective tax rate when they do so (they use the term "mills" to describe and calculate this), so in most cases if your property is just sort of keeping up with the value trend for its area you will see a fairly minimal tax increase.

Site and features make it a 10M parcel with gradual development in 10 years (could flip for 3-5M immediately with the right marketing)B) Standard downpayment (240k) 1.2 mil - house - rental income would be about 3500 initially, with ridiculous business potential (currently unrealized/undeveloped)This isn't a planned sale, and being self-employed I've maxed write-offs and minimized income so my income probably won't cover the mortgages needed in the bank's eyes.

Second minimal grout lines, usually just at all the corners.
