In other words, not resold to the government so the bank had more flexibility on the condition.I look at the original commitment letter and it states "xxx amount will be advanced at closing for the purchase of an investment property, and the remaining balance of the loan to be placed into an escrow account to be disbursed as improvements are made".No points, and only one closing, so I don't have to deal with a short term HML that I have to refinance in under a year.Hope that helps!

I can help with the refinance to pull equity out, but no the purchase, as 99% of the industry won't finance mobile homes. 

As a newbie, I’d love to connect with local investors and agents to learn more about the area and refine my plan.

Second, Texas also allows Texas homeowners to do cash-out refinance their primary residence.

If you can’t flip or refinance in time, while making interest payments to both the HML and the seller, you could lose the deal entirely.As @Twannisha Jackson mentioned, 75% LTV is very high.

The other way to satisfy is to get the property owner to refinance but that is not always in your control. 

Having this hands-on experience with real-world properties helps refine and enhance our software.Important Note: This is not a commercial off-the-shelf software program—it's an internal tool we use for streamlining our deal evaluation.

Just take out $60,000 from the property, reduce your cashflow & ultimately pay WAY less in interest.A Cashout Refinance is sitting around 7% while Credit Card debt is sitting above 20% on average.I know far too many people who regret selling real estate looking back 20 years, but I've yet to come across one who regrets keeping it.

Quote from @Mary Jay: Quote from @Jay Hurst: Quote from @Mary Jay: hi guys,so I have a lot of equity in one of my rentals but the interest rates are super low on it. so I dont want to do a cash out refinance on it because I dont want to lose the 3% interest rate on it.I want to get some cash out of it via Heloc or another vehicle,  so I could buy another rental, but its not my primary, so I cant get a HELOC on it from lots of banks....I think PenFed does helocs on rentals, but because I have more than 5 rentals, I dont qualify for their HELOC loan.IS there a bank that would give a HELOC/cash on a rental?
