Some only lend on the purchase price (70-80%), which means you have to come up with the remaining 20-30%, closing costs, and rehab costs, some lend on the both purchase and repairs, and some lend on the ARV, which typically covers your purchase and some repair costs. 

The buyer can demonstrate to the seller that while he is buying at a discount, they are getting a nice chunk of cash now, and when its done they still have most of their current principal remaining on the debt.Obviously, this type of investing requires marketing directly to private owner finance note holders. 

I'm not a heartless professional wholesaler who over inflates values and lies on repairs,  and I don't prey on new investors, but if the buyer is a "big boy" I don't try to get in his head and determine why he would pay the price he pays.Hope that helps.

The downtowns remain the hot spots for new supply and high rents, but the metro market overall remains a top contender nationally as it has for the past few years.

If you are moving from a higher cost location with a VA loan to a lower cost location wanting to use remaining entitlement, there may be none!

In Spain, banks remain under pressure to sell repossessed property, with some leading institutions reporting that 50 percent of their sales are to Britons.

I HATE the stock market, it is HYPER inflated right now by the banks giving loans to companies to buy their own stock back. 75% of stock sold were by this play.

Generally, Superior liens remain while Inferior liens go away. 

House-hack again by adding another apartment ($1,100 or even better maybe adding two apartments $2,200) ..... use as little as you can from the remaining funds from the HELOC (preferably in the $50k range).

I get nervous when I have to assume rent growth, raising rents, hope that rents would go up and expenses would be static (unlikely if inflation is a cause), etc.
