We financed the Dearborn St project using our standard Partner Driven strategy—covering all the necessary capital for the acquisition and renovation.

Reverse exchanges are much more expensive and complicated than a standard exchange.  

Offering to cover closing costs or agreeing to post-inspection repairs are becoming standard practices.

Just implement the same standards across the board and you can be sucessful with it. 

Property exceeds standard DSCR/LTV ratios and PFS is good too.Not 5%, but seems like there are some high 5% rates being advertised.  

Some of the help offered here is accurate and some of the help offered is a bit offFor most cash out refinance loans on investment properties the Max leverage offered is 75% LTV (You may find 80% but that really isn't industry standard) Which at a 250k "As is" value your max loan amount would be $187,500.00 If you purchased the property for 165k and renovated it for 30k you are all in for 195k Since I am assuming the property is owned free and clear the $187,500 (minus closing costs let's call it 5% of the loan amount) can be used to pay down your debt.

Thanks in advanceThat is pretty standard in Midwest markets.

Sometimes tenants want extra TI on new development than is standard so developer gets them to start out at inflated rent.

They do have some options for building up (see three story image below) but we created an apartment that consists of studios units, in the standard 16x74 foot modular home rectangle.

Hi Josh,80% is available, but the rate will be significantly higher than it would be at a more standard 75%.
