Hello BP,I've not had this issue with any of my rentals (knock on wood).  

@Kurt Schell the loan amount on this property is probably the main issue with finding lending.  

The problem is that I'm running into issues with the refi process due to my debt to income ratio.I have a W2 job that pays well, but I also own a business which had some pretty steep losses in 2015 which flowed through to my personal tax return, and smaller losses in 2016.  

None of the issues were very hard to solve though. 90% just required a phone call and some paperwork.Our next step is to buy properties and wholesale deals in a 1:1 or greater ratio.  

The only issue I see is there is so much fast growth and it is hard to compete, for a rehabber at least, with all of the new construction.

NMD techniques will be the way I start and I hope you guys can provide me with insight and mistakes that were made and issues you've had so I won't make the same decisions..

Direct vented equipment can be a solution to both of those issues.

If the house is really old and has asbestos and other things then it generally costs more to remove as you have to take additional measures when tearing down.Grade costs and topograhy is another issue.

We tried to resolve the issue with the office manager, but eventually had to stop payment. 

I have gone through the listing broker on REO properties and had no issues.
