I’m trying to learn what is commonly needed upfront for most cabins in general, aside from lending costs.

It's not a common thing that people go through when a tornado hits your house unexpectantly and having to do a total renovation.

I believe they likely will talk, they share a back deck and am concerned the different rates may negatively impact the relationship if that scenario played out.

If the answer to either scenario is yes, you didn't budget adequately.

Pros and cons for each type, and each type has their scenarios where one is better than the other.  

Consulting experts can help you sell your house efficiently and avoid common issues.

I've liked this method for making win-win scenarios for all involved.Happy studying ;-)

This is a scenario where you want an expert in your corner.  

So this is a very common business practice across multiple professions associated with the construction. 

Hi Kyle,This is the most common question I get asked.Don't waste your time because nobody in their right mind is going to fund 100% of your project.In order to get into new deals, build, buy, flip etc. you need to have some skin in the game.A bridge loan to get the cash out of the property on the market is possible, that can then help get you the cash needed and start this new build.
