Did somebody cross-up the hot and cold water piping somewhere along the line?

They even had a cute little Japanese style bridge crossing over the center.

To cross from the later to the former is QUITE a leap!!!

And there's like....an odd amount of cross over between bulldogs and pigs. 

Costs eliminated:*RoofingCosts Reduced:*Flooring (greatly reduced)*Painting*Exterior maintenance, including windows*HVAC *Exterminator costs (greatly reduces ants and termites)*Overall costs that you would see with any new constructionI also believe I will be creating a competitive advantage from the home design with the stated benefits of:*Greatly reduced utility cost for tenants (50-80%)*Safe from tornados (a factor in my market)*Outside noise reduction*Safe from storms and fire*Increased security*Less bugs and dust*Unique design and conversation worthy*“Green” construction*Potentially increased yard spaceMy worries:*Maintenance savings will not be great enough to offset higher acquisition costs.

you will need to qualify for the house under both payments, assuming you have no other rental properties over 2 years.I did this & it worked out wonderfully. house sat vacant for 2 days, tripled the amount of space in our new home, and 6 months later a comp identical to ours appraised for $20k more.everybody on BP said not to do it. that it won't be a profitable rental cash flow wise. but it has definitely been profitable from a net worth standpoint.so far, so good (fingers crossed)!

RealQuest, Realist, Hains criss cross, Data quick, etc.

Your credit will take a slight hit for a few months after obtaining a mortgage and the bank your dealing with may have a restriction or grace period on purchasing investment property, especially if you are a green investor it may be a requirement to wait for some lenders.

Crossing my finger that the closing happens lol, as there’s been some hiccups.
