But, in the long run you may be better off, as the house I purchased through them in Palm Bay has been a lemon, requiring one fix after another.

For long-term strategies, a cash-out refinance is usually more advantageous, as it preserves ownership and offers fixed terms.To proceed, start with a professional appraisal to confirm the home’s value, compare refinance terms with traditional lenders, and carefully scrutinize shared-equity program terms to ensure they align with your financial goals.

Home could've settled and nothing further to do or you could be seeing a bigger issue at hand that the seller needs to fix.

All depends on the interest rate on the primary home and if fixed.

I have seen several offers from operators around the country who are offering interest rates of sub 6% for a 30-year fixed mortgage with a 20% down payment required, NO POINTS.

Quote from @Aaron Provencal: Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

This is only good for 1 year and only applies to fix and flip.

You have a personal issue- car engine blows up, so you tell your tenant that they need to pay double the rent for one month so that you can get your car fixed?

So, the landlord makes an extra $1000 per month with the same fixed costs.  

They also have monthly meetings, site visits to fix-n-flips, some classes, etc.I'm happy to connect you into the local investing community.
