I was trying with one lender who said they can do the cash out at the beginning, but then after reviewing my 2016 tax return, which claim a loss on a K-1, they said they can not due to the debt to income ratio would not qualify (comes to negative..).

@Lisa Rispoli I completely understand and can agree.

Hi everyone, I know this might sound like a dumb question but I am a complete beginner trying to learn as much as I can about real estate.

I'd say that after the job is completed, I might need to revisit the project to make additional minor repairs to the garage, and the money is intended also for electricity needed for the minor repairs, if they ever come up. 

Maybe you offer the tenant $500 to be paid as long as she is completely vacated by noon on  X Date, no more damage than there is now.

Have there been any insurance claims on the property?

Samuel, I'm an investor in Cincinnati, I focus completely on higher end rentals near the University of Cincinnati.

My claim seems equivalent to the  process you would use for the lien release of a private lender first or second mortgage.Who do I work with in the transaction to allow the sale to go through without a cloud on title, but also get paid?

I'm guessing ones that look as beautiful as that one you just completed will sell, but the market may get wonky after the Germans leave.  

Our only thing stopping us at this moment is that we are currently doing a complete gut and renovation on our personal residence, (that should be a flip but we actually want to keep) we are putting all of our time and money into it.
