The bank will make you leave 25% equity in the property - but you also still want the property to at least cash flow some - so be careful how much equity you pull out / new debt you take on.I would do a cost benefit analysis of what your actual gain is in cash-flow on buying a new property with a (currently) higher interest rate (if financing), versus just holding on to the current appreciated property and enjoying that cash flow.All the best!

Let me know if I can provide any additional tips or resources to help.Best regards,Sadler Surratt 

Short term, leaving financing in place during rehab prior to resale — great strategy with limited risk to either party. 

doing a bad deal just to have done a deal will set your finances and your relationship back.

I need help financing this deal.

Some ideas I've considered:Equity Buyout: Having another investor or my partner buy out my 40% equity.Seller Financing: Selling my equity and offering seller financing to the buyer.Selling the Property: Liquidating the property entirely and splitting the proceeds.Does anyone have experience with situations like this?

Obviously, I want higher so value add or re-finance as things happen I can always own the option.

Lau, generally if you are financing with a commercial lender- we lend for business purpose only and a rental property would fall under that category.

I’d appreciate any input you can offer on everything from financing to construction challenges.

Each property qualifies on its own economic merits (i.e. rental income covering PITI payments)This is one of the main advantages for DSCR financing, i.e. the ability to scale without any kind of DTI limit imposed by conventional financing.
