When I did my research for buying my properties in Costa Rica, I had one of the big STR management companies like Evolve analyze my potential profits and I used that info to raise money through bringing on partners to buy the properties. 

I plan to simply get my permits and get the unit built.

I recently locked down my first property as I start on my real estate adventure. 

I was playing with the idea of selling my condo, taking 300k of the equity to put a down payment towards a house listed at 660k.I'm assuming the reno will run $300/sqft and going in with the assumption that phase 1 will run 750k (figure the expansion of the house will have to wait) for the gut reno.I assume/hope (but definitely not banking on) that I will be able to refi in 2-3 years at a lower interest rate; if not for a lower rate.This will likely be a family home for the next 5-10 years at LEAST so investment value isn't quite at top of mind ATM.Questions:Even if it's not for lower interest rate, do you feel it's advisable to refi to remove the 203 loan in the future?

The whole house needs to be remodeled due to lots of wear and tear and being outdatedI am planning to use a HELOC on my current property for mostly all the repairs.

My name is Naomi Pinger and I am a private money lender.

I am closing on a 3 bed 2 bath home in Nampa, ID that will be my first flip or BRRRR.

I'm working on building my buyers list, as well as just networking.

It’s a marathon not a 50 yard dash from my experience. 

I talked to my property manager that manages a number of straight rentals for us and she was not familiar with  Pad Split.
