@Samuel Metcalf- thanks   1) I would recomend getting a HELOC in place on your primary residence duplex  for  as much as  possible...this should be available for  free or a low  cost and the rate will be variable in the  8-11%  range ...prime rate +  margin of  1-3% ) ...the min payment is in interest only payment on outstanding balance   2)  use the heloc for the  remodeling  costs ...pay it down as  agressively as you can   3) on the  purchase of the investmenet  1 unit -  you are  allowed to put as little as 15%  of the price for your down payment ...the pricing you get for the loan will improve  as your down payment  grows so you might look at  75% /  80%  and  85%  ltv  options 

I want to purchase a condo with the loan 100% in my name, with the intention of completely remodeling the unit for potential rental opportunity. 

Hi BP Community,I'm trying to pull quotes for new kitchen remodel and updated bathrooms for 2 BR / 1 BA apartments (~800 SF) in Rhode Island.

I allow pets in all my properties but when I do my remodels, I try to make them more pet resilient (No carpets or rugs) . 

@Claudio Salvatorelli @Ann-Marie Vargas @Maxwell VenturaI would love those contractor referrals as well :) Looking to build ADUs in San Diego (and some other remodeling.)

I would need flooring, countertops, bath remodel, demo etc.

I was also planning on paying cash for remodel but fix and flip supposedly includes this in their package? 

I am looking for work rehabbing/remodeling homes.

We went a little overboard on the remodel for a rental.

He was considering my house a remodel even though I stated everything in the home is original and that I was only repairing damage from the foundation and making some minor updatesHe required that I get an electrical permit for 5 new lights I had an electrician run for me.
