I find a property and give lender a list of the repairs/updates and he gives it to appraiser. 

Please keep us updated on the next Realtor meltdown.

2) If a property needs to be updated (ex: new floor, paint, fence), how should I go about incorporating language into a deal that allows me to make the updates I need while providing me with the proper protection financially and operationally?

HUD guidance for documentation requirements of need for 'emotional support animals' were just updated in January.

Here are the options we're considering.1) Use a HELOC to update our current primary residence (SFR), sell it, and use profits for next property.2) Move into a new property (probably MFR), using primary residence as a rental in current condition.

@Trenton Doss Hey Trenton, do you have any updates on Ultra Maris Capital?

I heard about the Rebuild NWF program providing 75% funding for updated impact windows but unfortunately that program ran out of funding recently. just missed the cut :(Anyways, it got me thinking so Im interested if anyone knows any kind of programs like this for any type of renovation/installation that I can take advantage of as Im bringing this home back to life.Thanks in advance!

An update / closure on this post.I decided to move forward with renting to this applicant as she met all my criteria (3x rent, no evictions, no criminal history, good references, decent credit, etc.).

If I can get a rent-ready but needs just a few cosmetic updates for the right price that cash flows at the rate I want to hit with each property to reach my business goals, then I'll go for it.
