@Enrique Toledo  If the seller is firm at 10% down, you can always get a personal loan for that 10%. 

Now, should you decide to enter into a real estate transaction WITHOUT a licensed agent, one should be mindful to not get unpset should that person get scammed in the real estate purchase or sell transaction.

I would recommend anyone lending in this environment to fix and flippers or any type of investment to be careful and get a personal guaranty and make sure person has a long track record.

I personally use Vanguard, but I know others like Schwab and Fidelity also have solid options.

A bookkeeper can also work hand-in-hand with your CPA to ensure everything is recorded correctly, making tax time much smoother.My personal belief is to get referrals for CPA recommendations—word of mouth is often the best way to find someone solid.

I have no idea who I should reach out to for help, and I just do not understand how this person no longer responds to emails or returns phone calls.I hope someone can provide some guidance. 

Additionally, if your goal is to maximize personal financial benefits, consider profit distributions from the property-owning LLC, which may provide tax flexibility depending on your situation.By adhering to FMV, maintaining proper documentation, and structuring the lease agreement carefully, you can optimize tax benefits while staying compliant.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

@Jay Fayz for SFR (1-4 family) Classifications are mostly opinion-based.Not aware of anyone tracking eviction rates, except Evictions Lab nonprofit that doesn't like landlords.Here's some info that might helpt:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Since your property has high resale potential, some lenders may be willing to work with you.Cash-Out Refinance – If you’re open to refinancing, you could take out a new mortgage for a portion of the home’s value (say, 60-70% of the $500K), and use the cash difference for renovations.Personal Loan – If you have good credit, you might qualify for a personal loan for part of the rehab costs, though interest rates are typically higher than secured loans.Partner with an Investor – Given the potential profit, you may be able to find a real estate investor or contractor willing to finance the rehab in exchange for a share of the profits upon sale.Your best option depends on your financial standing, timeline, and risk tolerance.

You missed an important item: Depending on how a person does #1 or #2, it could get them: A fast-pass to the "Principles Office" for "bullying" and now there sitting in "detention"....
