Hi @Alex Lee I would avoid 203K loan and work with conventional renovation loan based on knowing you'll be forced to use 203k certified contractors which will cost more money and offer inflated pricing because they must follow 203k guidelines. 

Good suggestions above.I would research the labor cost of a total resanding and recoating. 

If you enjoy hands-on management and rapid income growth, this could be your strategy​​.Considerations: Expect higher maintenance costs, variable income, and stricter local regulations in some areas.3.

not sure why one would ask this question if the intent is to pay it.. only reason I can think is they want to try to wiggle out of it.reality is anyone can file a lien..

Since you're new, start by narrowing down a strategy—house hacking is a great way to get started with low upfront costs.

The people who actually have an incentive to ensure you make it to the closing table are all telling you 5% down conventional, maybe there's a reason for it.

If you are raising money in a syndication raising less than $1M can be challenging due to the setup and ongoing costs to manage and run it.

I've seen the actual cost to be around 15%-20%.

I am a power user for Zoho for a number of reasons including following:Zoho CRM, truly the beast out there.

That will increase your material costs for the job and is the contractor paying for the material in their bid or are you paying for it and paying them a labor cost.
