Hey David, The rent analysis will vary slightly depending on the PM as it's more of an art than a science, but they should have MLS access to pull the most recent comps to get a solid value for your rental. 

It’s called Accela Citizen Access. 

The rest of the work was likely done in-house or with friendly contractors that would do the work without a permit.why would I grant them access to my home when they only person they will hold responsible for anything that was not done correctly is me?

Typically on a no seasoning cash-out refinance, borrowers can pull cash back out of their recently purchased property if the purchase cash was from an acceptable source.Acceptable sources include:Cash from borrower's own financial accounts.Funds from a home equity line of credit.Funds from a personal loan.That being said, I can point you toward a few local MB's that may have access to private money sourced from more flexible lenders.

But that eventually escalated into “unauthorized” modifications to our property and that resulted in crazy and passive-aggressive behavior when we started to object. 5 years later the drama started—confrontations, restraining order, police visits, but eventually we got him evicted.

I don't have access to my attorney today and I don't remember seeing this issue before.

Hutto particularly is well located to all the industrial growth around it (Georgetown, RR, PF access to 130 (to Manor and Giga) and now Taylor).

@Jenna Banaitis - I recommend a HELOC so you can access most if not all of your equity and not pay closing costs.

I use rentredi, for the most part it’s great, affordable easy to use, and it’s integrated with latchel which is pretty cool. but a couple of my issues with it are, there’s no way for a tenant to access and pay on a desktop, only smartphone app.

They have unauthorized pets, unless the pull the old trick of these pets are “emotional support” or “service animals”, the. that’s a whole other issue, especially since you are in California
