HI sailed through the last recession like nothing happened. so not true.. tourism hit an all time low.. prices dropped like everywhere else. they did not crater but they dropped.lots of different things going on that will help Vegas.. one that is major is SALT/..

What part of OH, is the electricity separately metered?

@eddy udryThanks for that,  i know down here in Twin Fallsthe rentals arround CSI are wierd,  I have a friend that owns a duplex and 1 renter wanted a 2 year lease because his daughter has to stay in the district and the other half is hit and miss but, full most of the time.

Thanks @Louise Alexander and @Jay Leisten for the welcome, I'm making it a priority to hit as many meetups as possible, so I'm sure we'll see one another soon enough!

The house has new double-pane windows, few roof, new furnish, new electrical box with a 175 AMP, and it even came with an EV charger in the garage.

you could rent the place for 6 months until its "seasoned" and the bank will not hit you with that mortgage, after the refi- you can keep or sell.

I don't want to keep taking the hit to my credit score every time I apply so I decided to just wait it out until I know I can qualify.  

If this is your first deal do you really want to completely re-arrange the flow of the building, do major plumbing and electrical, etc?

Our first plan was to use and FHA 203k loan but being that my wife was a house wife and we were living on one income pretty much the last 3 years my credit took a BIG hit.

She said she'd email me the information about the electric company and connecting WiFi that day (the 7th).I reached out to her multiple times after she never submitted the email.
