So, that way I could use some money to rehab around the property rather than getting a mortgage loan. The rental properties are usually ranged $30K to $50K.

Thanks!

We have a property management company that handles our rental property. They require us to carry a homeowners policy with THEIR name on our policy for liability. This type of policy does not seem to be the norm and therefore is hard to find. Can anyone assist? The home is in Texas. Thanks!

I own a home right now where I am still paying PMI. I also have a rental property. I would like to take a home equity loan on the rental property to pay-off some of my mortgage so I will not have to pay PMI to my first home anymore. Will the interest I pay on the home equity loan on my rental property be tax deductible?

I bought an apartment in 2007 as a rental property in a different state. The building is still being constructed and I have a loan on this property and am paying mortgage interest. In 2008, I traveled to this location to decide on customizations on the property (carpets, kitchen, and windows). Is my travel cost deductible? I am deducting the mortgage interest. Is this travel cost deductible? Which form should I file? Obviously, there is no rental income on this property.

Our current mortgage needs to be refinanced no matter what we decide to do, but we are considering using the home we live in as a rental and buying another house to live in. Our mortgage now requires that we live in the home. How difficult is it to refinance as a rental property? Our credit is good. Has anyone out there done this?

We are in the process of purchasing another home and would like to turn our current home into a rental property (we have already been approved to carry both loans). Our current loan is an FHA loan, and we have lived in the house for almost 3 years. Is it legal to do this with an FHA loan?

Also, do we have to change our homeowner’s insurance, and is it more expensive for rental properties?
