I have some liquid cash in my U.S. bank account and would like to start investing in real estate.

cool

If we buy NPN's in the area, it might make more sense to liquidate these at sales as opposed to taking them back as REO's.

I think its pretty cool the the company allows people to share in THEIR PROFITS instead of how others in the market place, sell you something small and then continue to sell you as they create new products and services.

That is both cool and money can be great as well.

Alternatively, I could liquidate stocks to pay off the property but I'd be subject to capital gain taxes and obviously not leveraging.

This didn't bother me much; I had a feeling their estimates favor them a little more and that's cool IF you already know a little about rehab costs, ARV, and the current market in that area.

It may require you to maintain a specific liquidity ratio over the life of the loan, or maintain cash reserves equal to a specific number of payments, or upon inspection prior to the loan being Funded, Require you to come out of pocket with cash, for instance, to replace the roof because it has more than two layers on it, replace or grind concrete that has heaved, or embark on a program of replacing balconies that have rotted within a certain amount of time, et cetera...

The GC is the guy everyone points at when everyone is freaking out, and the GC stays cool and has it back on track and makes it look easy.

I went to lumber liquidators and requested that I can have a personal commercial account.
