I would try to find someone to do it on a gross rent level with a reduced lease up commission fee

In the end you then have an over remodeled flip in cost with reduced returns on resale.You might want to look up J Scott on here 123flip.com   He used to do a lot of rehab flips in ATL. 19 days in is not a lot of time for that price point.

For me it's been as simple as simulating a correction and removing, for instance, flip income, as well as reducing gross rents. 

We are looking into how to reduce the sound transmission between floors.The ceiling had been furred down with 1x3s had a 12x12 ceiling tile installed over it.

Obviously I want to reduce my cost of financing, and with Investor loans even more expensive I’m looking for other options.

I'm also planning to reduce my deductible to $5k once I get the new roof on. $10k always felt a bit high even though I always keep at least this amount in reserves.If the insurance company declines to help pay due to the age of the roof, I may just set some money aside specifically for the roof and then replace it later this year or early next.

We're definitely going to do our taxes first and see how things shakeout there first with a conventional loan since we do have W-2 income to support a regular mortgage, just wasn't sure how over time these expenses writeoffs start to reduce your buying potential with conventional loans. 

If an investor that is local to your property makes a recommendation, it still may not be foolproof, but it reduces our risk. 

Early retirement, reduced work week, financial freedom, etc. 

We did it, and they reduced all the fines if not negated them.Just tell them you were unaware and explain the situation to them.This is a great reason why I recommend that owners keep city notifications coming to them directly.
