What I have learned is that you can borrow $50K or half your loan balance whichever is the small amount. 

Hard money loans will almost certainly not cover 100% of the property’s purchase price and will require a chunky amount down (eg 20-30%) from you.

The problem is that they do not usually give this to new people and/or people that do not have big amounts deposited into their accounts.I'm also CT based. 

Pay them an agreed upon amount and they break the lease and move out.

I would think a garden and parking are an attractive draw in peniche, especially in the high season. 2.Adding value – To be determined amount of renovation/redecoration work is required on the property since it has been sitting empty for 4 years and hasn't been updated in decades.

Hi Raif, Could you provide interest rates and payoff amounts? 

The loss created by section 179 is limited to your total net taxable income amount from all "active" business income you have, plus any W-2 income. 

The percentage increase was off the charts, but the dollar amounts - not so much. 

Therefore they can sit back and accept say $5000/month on a multi whereas me buying it, now I need full rent amount which is closer to $6800/month.
