Should I add this to the overall rent when I market the unit, or should this be a monthly fee that is billed in addition?

The unit will be fully furnished and have all amenities in addition to an in unit washer/dryer.

Hello all,  I am in the process of refinancing my primary residence to use the equity for an investment property and I was wondering what is the typical equity required, on your primary residence, to be able and secure an additional loan for said investment property.

Additionally, there is so much waste through a real estate transaction, it will take a long time to fully optimize the process (brokers, lawyers, title companies, appraisers, inspectors, they all have areas which can be optimized) I’m a licensed broker in NJ FYI

However,  I think it might be possible for you to buy another property, use additional leverage when purchasing it, and get some of your equity out that could then be used for the improvements that you want to make on the fixer-upper.

@Lamont Marable Be careful encouraging others to use "Morris Invest" if you do a search here on BP you'll see hundreds of posts of investors who have been scammed and lost thousands of dollars using them.I would avoid them at all cost and always do additional research when getting recommendations or seeing a t.v host face on YouTube selling 40k homes.

In addition to the association allowance if you plan on doing Air BnB or short term vacation rentals don't forget that there is an additional Transient Accommodation Tax, bringing your total tax requirement to ~14%

In addition, after meeting up with a prospective tenant walk them to their car.

In addition it's a good idea to have a stronghold in an area with local builders, handymen and contractors to get quality work done and on budget.

Just an update with some additional info.
