At first blush it looks like you're finance at $500k, so getting a loan for $375k.

I use a loan servicer who processes the borrowers payment and then sends to me.

Here’s how I’m currently thinking about it:The interest rate on my existing property is 3.5%, so I’d like to maintain that rate rather than refinancing the entire loan.

Hi Treza,Not sure where you are in the process there, but when your ready to exercise financing options please reach out, it's very difficult to find a ground up program for inexperienced borrowers without having an experienced GC sign on the loan with you which in turn is not easy to find. 

Invest in Fix-and-Flip Properties:Use the $50K as a down payment or cover acquisition costs for a non-recourse loan (required for SDIRAs).

What are your Loan terms and P/I relative to the cashflow after taxes?

However those with no to very limited experience will never get a fix and flip loan  from a bank. 4.

Depreciation Benefits via Leverage: While you can't claim depreciation personally on IRA-owned real estate, SDIRAs can use non-recourse loans to purchase property.

But bottom line every place is different and there is no one size fits all for the development game.In Oregon and WA many banks will go 50% loan to cost not to exceed 50 or 60% LTV on dirt.. but for me I always pay cash for the dirt.
