We had someone get a ticket and pulled the carts for the rentals, probably cost us between 5-10% of total revenue but it was more important for us to keep our carts than not have them for an extended period.$2 mm house or not you will have headaches with carts regardless and in our experience it's just not worth the hassle.my recommendation is work a deal with a local place you can refer them to and get a small referral fee from.

Including utilities in the monthly rent is more likely to cost you and create problems.

Folks tend to far underestimate the cost, and length of time, that it takes to rebuild from a disaster such as this.

If rates DO come down in the future you can consider refinancing, but don't forget there are costs associated with that as well.

For example, Crestview Commons is offering 150% and 1 and half month free rent.

Well a few days ago, someone got it the day before I had my consultant scheduled to evaluate it.

It’s my understanding it’s very hard to meet reps status working a w2Also I believe once you get above $150k basically you lose any benefits of reps status I think I will be able to qualify for the STR re status if I run the cost segregation when I purchase the house. 

VA construction aka One Time Close is a great program to buy and build on a home.Keep in mind that some of the construction costs would need to be paid prior to closing.

After closing cost  I’ll be at 250k. built in 2017. 2600.00 MO income. rents can be raised some not much right now. 80% LTV I’ll be out of pocket 54,000.
