Focus on saving for down payments, cutting expenses, and maintaining good credit behavior.

I finally found one at 20% higher than I was paying, but with a higher deductible and greatly reduced coverages (loss of rent from one year to 3 months, liability from $500K to $300K, everything else cut or excluded).Personal opinion (I work in insurance) and those of pretty much everyone I've spoken to in the industry feel we are at least a few years away from anything softening. 

We are just refinancing a loan.Here’s how it works: You create an LLCYou buy a homeYour LLC gives you a loan for the homeYou file the deed for that loan at the county courthouseYou use the money from the LLC to buy and fix up the propertyOnce the property is completed, your conventional lender comes to refinance the loanYour conventional lender runs title and sees there is a loan.Your conventional lender refinances you into a new loan, and cuts a check to your LLC…a check in the amount of 75% of the value.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but reaching out and saying “Hey, I know of this undervalued property and have comps” isn’t going to cut it.

I am having difficulty figuring out how to use the numbers here to see whether i cut my losses or proceed knowing some major capex work could be done after renovation, so hopefully no major expense in the near to medium term, and all the potential of the area in price growth and rental growth.  

Sounds like you might be better off to cut your ties to this one sooner than later. 

The categories match up pretty well with the 25 components I call out in my Estimating Rehabs books.Btw, this is the way my accountant recommended I set up QB...he's the one who moves everything to WIP at the end of the year for the properties that haven't yet sold.

Thank you Rachel Every time I've mentioned seller financing she cuts me off and says she's too old for that .lol
