The good:His credit report shows zero missed paymentsHis girlfriend's father is our handyman and one of his previous landlordsHe has been at his job since 2006The bad:He already asked to use some of the storage space to store gear for his hobbiesHe just took out a loan for 105k for a boat (also 10k owed on car, makes 50k/yr)He asked to store the boat on the propertySo far I have said ok to storing the gear, but need to establish some ground rules (looking for advice here too). 

That person clearly is not doing there job or is missing from the equation. 

In terms of cashflow, it appears that you are missing real estate taxes and insurance from the expense listing. 

@Jenny Bayon I hear ya and I certainly don't miss CA MFR. 

I miss it a lot!

I feel like my financing is squared away, have contractors ready, only thing missing is the project home.

@Meghan Dreher I missed the "short term" part.

Most of the flooring I lay either replaces damaged oak strip in patches or in whole, or, generally in the case of kitchens, I rip up the flooring, put in 5/8 in exterior plywood sheathing, and lay tile over 1/4 in. cement board.Let's talk about the tile: the reason I would not recommend this strategy to everyone is that it is labor intensive and takes time, and it's usually practically impossible to tell the difference from a tile floor installed over cement board that will last five years and one that will last fifty.

Sorry I missed those earlier posts on the subject.   

We missed out on a great spring and half the summer, but it's still bringing in great off-season numbers and we're excited about next year.
