Milestones: Structure payments in milestones tied to project completion stages.

Over a couple hours of googling I have found several fake addresses, fake LLCs, shell companies, several lawyers tied to several addresses.

If the money will be tied into a project long term, a higher rate on your heloc can really impact your overall payment on the property (fixed debt plus heloc).

In the United States in 2024, mortgage rates are generally tied to the overall bond market, as most residential mortgages, including conventional qualifying mortgages for owner-occupants, residential investment mortgages (DSCR loans), and even other alternative residential mortgages (non-QM), are securitized.

My interest in the US market is perked because of the stronger dollar, and better tax benefits (like the 1031 exchange).

Even an umbrella policy has to tie to a property initially.

If you have all of your cash tied up in one deal, what will you do if another deal comes along?

This should eliminate the homeowner (1) selling a property while remaining liable for the note (subject to), (2) tying  up his property with a “buyer” who has no intent to close unless he finds someone to pay a higher price (wholesaler), (3) paying above market rental for an option to buy that can never be exercised (4) purchasing a property from a fix n flipper who did shoddy rehab, (5) purchasing a property with nebulous legal title, (6) contracting for home improvement with a fly by night contractor who then puts a mechanics lien on the property and (7) “listing” with a wholesaler disguised as a Realtor who doesn’t put the home on MLS. 

I’m just not sure if my first REI should tie up my money in a long term asset (appreciation) vs investing in a quicker ROI (fix&flip, BRRRR, wholesale, or simply cashflow)The typical down payment in Denver metro for single family is around 80k (which I don’t have in liquidity).  

An 18-20 month turn around time is a long time to have cash tied up doing nothing for you.
