The other project was repairing the wood floors where an old in floor heater used to be and then refinishing the homes wood floors.

I'm sure the seasoned vets in here will give you way better info.

Usually something happens to the HVAC at the changing of the seasons, then you have to use one of the warranty company's approved vendors and wait for them to actually be able to schedule with your tenant, then they come out and diagnose and it's another two weeks before they come back to really fix it and they end up doing a bad patch job and have to come back out 2 months later, etc.Also keep in mind the limitations of a warranty.

I elected to go with the structural, wood destroying insects, and radon inspections.

I am glad to get any information from all the seasoned investors on here

I've gotten my best deals during the holiday seasons on properties that sat on the market for 6 months and I've lost the most money trying to raise properties from the grave.

Basement: Inspect beams and other items for wood destroying pests, check foundation walls for mold, look for evidence of sewer backups, check emergency lighting through common areas, check water tanks. 

When / If there are secondary lenders for LLC / commercial loans (that do not hit my credit) there will be I'm assuming another 2k after the "seasoning" period.So now I'm $5500 in closing cost alone....My thoughts are if my lenders will close fast enough for my sellers I can rid myself of the cash closing unless it's just a crazy good deal, but I would love any feed back on ways to move into a 30 year when I'm pulling my cash back out.Also should I use the portfolio portion of the loan to acquire and slowly move them into 30 years?

I can imagine more of the newer investors not readily investing right now but I'm sure more seasoned don't see an issue from the current market.  

Original wood floors restore.
