@Jean Gillon, you can find out more about the WiscoREIA by going to WiscoREIA.com.

I look forward to seeing you there.

@Jean Gillon, I usually attend both the WiscoREIA and the Appleton REIA. If there's another meeting you're thinking of, you'll need to let me know. I may attend it as well.

Hope to meet you soon.

@Jean Gillon, welcome. Don't limit yourself to just the newbies. Lol. There's a lot of great people here that can help.

Also, make sure you get yourself connected with the local REIA and meet ups. You should definitely network in your market.

Good luck.

If there's anything I help with, feel free to reach out.

@Hector Aguilar, definitely. My business partner and I invest all over the state.

@Katherine Earle, the short answer is... If you want to stay on title when the refi happens, you will have an impact on the refi. The only way to really mitigate that with a bank is to bring in a credit partner who is willing to accept and guarantee your part of the deal.

However, if you can find a private individual who is looking for a long term investment, they will likely not care and do the refi without much issue.

Good luck and welcome to Wisconsin.

@Cheryl Hewitt, ignorance does not cover everything, but it will definitely help here. Just tear it out and put in drywall. It'll be a much better finish anyway.

Good luck! I hope you are successful with this project.

@Cheryl Hewitt, how old is the tile? Age will help you determine if it is or not. The other thing that you should consider is whether or not you want to really know. You only have to disclose what you know. You do not have to disclose things that you suspect or think. And, the only way to know for sure is to test it. Once you test it, you may be opening a can of worms you don't want to open.

@Tadeh Vartan Ian, glad to help. If you ever make your way to either Green Bay or Appleton, you should hit up the REIA's in the areas. There's a lot of great people there.

@Tadeh Vartan Ian, I have a local accountant (Tina @ https://integrityintaxllc.com) who is putting everything in our books. However, we use John Hyre (https://www.taxreductionlawyer.com) (he recently moved from Ohio to Puerto Rico to save on taxes himself) to oversee everything and make sure we're maximizing our tax deductions. John specializes in real estate investors. I absolutely love what he's helped us do. John is definitely one of the best in the industry. Can't recommend him enough. He also hold seminars in Puerto Rico that are 100% tax deductible while giving you and your family plenty of time to enjoy the island.
