Congratulations, since you’re in the early stages, something else to consider is building a new duplex on a lot instead of buying an existing one.

The excess, if any, is generally held for the borrower to claim.So, in most states, when a property goes through the auction, the subordinate liens are wiped out. (22nd mortgages, HELOCS, HOA liens)However, when no auction is held, (you buy the property before the auction occurs) the liens survive and are still owed.

My wife and I are in recon stage with doing proper due diligence but it seems too risky.

You could look into creative financing options seller financing, HELOCs, or private lending to stretch your capital further without taking on excessive risk.

Since tenant left can this citation be voided by court now.Does government shout down impact anything.is it good idea to pursue the eviction process at this stage. 

A portfolio lender or a mortgage broker with deep DSCR experience will be much more adept at packaging and presenting your loan to their underwriters than a big bank would be.Since you're at the refinance stage of your BRRRR, your focus should be on having those conservative comps ready and speaking with lenders who are investor-savvy.

Use Schedule C only if you do and be aware of self employment tax on profit.Check the section 461 excess business loss rule.

Hey everyone,I’m currently in the final stages of completing my Alabama Home Builders License and looking to shadow an experienced builder through a few key parts of the construction process — primarily foundation work (slab prep, plumbing rough-in, form setting, and pour day).My goal is to gain a deeper hands-on understanding of the process from the field side before fully launching my own builds.

I’m in the early stages of real estate investing (looking at fourplexes in Bakersfield) and also doing some market research to understand what tools are actually helpful vs overkill for small landlords.Would appreciate any recommendations, experiences, or even frustrations you've had with landlord softwareThanks in advance

@Emma Kinross , I'm a investor-friendly realtor in the Denver area so I might be able to find someone (investor, staging company, or manager) who might be interested.
