MassSave is a GREAT deal.As far as the electrical work: I don’t know what the extents of the knob and tube are - if you describe the scope we can give you an idea if it is a good cost.

I've heard the explanations and the thought process behind the fateful call, but not the way Annie described it in this episode.

A commenter from another message board said what I described above is only allowed if I inherited the IRA from a spouse. 

The OA you describe for the LLC is actually what I'm interested in seeing.   

If not, I looked up delayed financing on the Fannie Mae site.The original purchase transaction was an arms-length transaction.For this refinance transaction, the borrower(s) must meet Fannie Mae’s borrower eligibility requirements as described in B2-2-01, General Borrower Eligibility RequirementsThe borrower(s) may have initially purchased the property as one of the following:a natural person;an eligible inter vivos revocable trust, when the borrower is both the individual establishing the trust and the beneficiary of the trust;an eligible land trust when the borrower is the beneficiary of the land trust; oran LLC or partnership in which the borrower(s) have an individual or joint ownership of 100%.The original purchase transaction is documented by a settlement statement, which confirms that no mortgage financing was used to obtain the subject property.

The things you describe don’t happen over night .

I'm biased, but if you house hack exactly the way you have described, after a few great deals, you should be in an excellent position.

He described it as the worst real estate experience ever. 

Patrick, I am by no means an expert but my first thought would be to confirm with county property appraiser what the PIN (parcel identification numbers) is described as and if it can be changed or separatedAlso, the tittle company who will provide insurance may be able to weigh in too.Bank or credit union may help with valuation question.

I can offer 10% down with seller financing with a 15 year term and a buy out clause (as described in the calculator) or take out a conventional mortgage with 10% down.
