What kind of loan can you get on a cash buy?
I know there are tons of posts on this topic, however most I don't understand or deal with rentals, or numbers that don't come close to what I am doing. So here is was I am doing
Cash buy on a tax foreclosure through the county for 43K, the house has a tax assessment of 118K and a fair market value of 90K. The house needs about 15K in rehab. I am trying to figure out how the cash out process works and what I can do. What I have seen in other posts is that the banks wont refi you unless you have it for 6-12 months. If that is true then how can I pull my initial purchase money out to rehab and purchase the next property? Is there a way to use the house as collateral to get some kind of loan? I only want to get out 50-60K on the house to go after another property thats for sale at 35K and use whats left to rehab the first house. This way when the first one is done I can jump right into the second one. Once the first one sells I can pay back the first loan, walk out with some money in my pocket and put that into the second home for repair. Then the sale of the second home will be all mine to pocket. It doesn't sound as easy as people make it sound on TV that's for sure. Or am I on my own planet? I don't know what the hell I am doing so I am sure that I am going about this all wrong.
I want to avoid what I ran into on my last flip, buy with my cash, rehab with my cash and during this whole process just watch the world go by and miss out on other opportunities. There is still way more to learn doing this and I have had my fair share of bumps, bruises and headaches so far. I want to avoid that this next round.
Thanks

Have you considered partnering up with someone more experienced? They can provide some capital to help you achieve your goals and you would learn from them. Most likely you will have to give up profit but it can make the next deal you do more profitable for yourself.
