I have been considering asking to buy the single family in cash to separate the deal but would like that amount to be subtracted from the purchase price while keeping the cash I would spend on the down payment the same to include the single family that way the seller gets the same amount of cash upfront.

Spend the money for peace of mind now.Also, make sure you're getting paid for the risk you're taking on with the foundation issues.

The seller doesn't really net that much more in the end.  

Would I Still Do the Deal?

I enquired about the HELOC on the rental property and I am not getting good terms that work out.

I tend to say no to the wind, but look at costs vs coverage and the language used.Best of luck!

Congrats on the investment.

Turn around and put $300k back on primary residence mortgage and use the remaining $300K to finance the next house.  

Tenant leaves the unit and turn in the keys on 1/16/25. 

She's done a lot of write-ups on the BP blog on the subject.Hope that helps!
