For those who’ve used it, what strategies or sources have worked best for you when covering the difference between your loan and the total project cost?

I am estimating the note would cost 2.5k per month at most. 

Attorney’s Fees; Collection Related Costs; Jury Waiver.

I paid it off within the year, so it cost me no interest. 

Does a cost seg or bonus depreciation actually help you in any way? 

Inherently the steps are the same as if you were purchasing with financing save potentially less closing costs and ability to close sooner (if needed).The terms of your offer (ie -contingencies, closing cost splits etc) will determine what is different. 

A) it controls my cost.

Most of the industry is blue collar work and some of our tenants have their rent paid by their corporate HQ, our all in cost for a new home there is $250k and we are bringing in $3k a month in rent and have had zero vacancies. 

If you are looking to buy in PA, its possible you can qualify for PHA KFIT program that gives you a 5% closing cost forgivable loan.

At least his apathy only costed you $1500 and indigestion.
