This reminds me of the discussion around pricing things at $x.99 instead of $x+1.00.EXAMPLE: $4.99 instead of $5.00Everyone "knows" that the price in the example is basically $5.So, why do billion dollar companies, spending more on marketing departments than everyone's combined income on this thread, STILL use the $x.99 pricing format?

Sell your car and get a loan on a new car.

However, transferring a mortgaged property to an LLC could trigger a due-on-sale clause, so consult your lender before doing so.While an LLC does not save taxes, it can make audits more straightforward and help present your rental as a business and you can combine all the hours from multiple STRS into one to meet the MP requirements.

Also, $625 for capturing pictures and building a 3D model of the house to go on the website.That leaves $16,338 for adding two bedrooms, among various other mostly minor fixes and cosmetic stuff.I put 20% down on my loan.

However, it is perfectly acceptable to combine all tenants’ security deposits into a single account.

Get a 50% LTV loan and buy another property just like the one you own. 

You could build a new one every 2-3 years and move into it as a primary so the bank would be more friendly with your loan.

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?

@Cody Caswell there's several things to ask about here that might not be answerable in a forum:- Why do you need an FHA loan?

What other kinds of loans or financing strategies are available that don't involve using too much of your own cash?
