Must be able to pull permits.Mostly remodel work, some new construction..

The title company can pull that satisfaction from record once recorded and all should be good.  

i still am. the second point why we update so heavily up front is because i dont want call backs. i hate that stuff, so it's not as hard to do it at the moment ourselves.the other day i pulled a "retirement number" out of the air and it's 35. who knows what will happen in the years to come.

Any advice on how to pull money out of the property w/ as low a rate as possible?

I believe my best option so far would be to use an FHA 203 loan for my first triplex, build it up, live in it for over a year or two, save up the rental profit, see how much equity I will have in that time frame and then see if I can pull out that equity for a down payment for a second triplex that I will occupy.

So putting properties in an LLC closes down possibilities for them in terms of pulling out equity if you can't find a portfolio bank?  

Hi Leo, as far as the ground wire is concerned, just pull one of the non grounded receptacle plates off and loosen the receptacal enough to see behind it (Cut the breaker first unless you like to challenge the gods like me) and see if the wire going to the back of it has a bright copper bare wire.

@Matt Landau, @Trey Dulling and @Dan Oliver (will someone please @mention the first two for me, for some reason my @mention isn't pulling them up) Thanks! 

Been debating about pulling it all out and using as more investment capital.

When I saw the house I pulled over to the side and took a look around and it seems to be in a decent condition outside wise (roof looks fine just needs a pressure wash) maybe some new paint to spruce it up and some yard work, but other than that it looks decent..
