After I have completed a couple of rehabs I will move into a phase of rehabs to sell, the next one will be a rehab to hold as rental, back to rehab to sell etc...

I am not assuming anything.Does that mean that there aren't any areas of the United States that are currently in a growth phase - certainly not.

However, northwest San Antonio is exploding with growth, most of the buyers being wealthy foreigners from Mexico, its as if the subprime slime doesn't even phase the Austin and San Antonio markets, I love seeing even 8-12% /year gains on this current slowdown where Glendale, California people are selling 50-60 K below market value just to be able to sell.

Because of that, they typically require at least 20% down, and it can be higher.If you are looking at a pre-construction property (which there are many of these days), then the deposit is usually due in stages with the final payment coming when the project is completed.There are advantages to getting in on the preconstruction phase, and that is usually when you will get a best price compared to completion, however, you really need to make sure you do your research on the developer and property to make sure they have the resources and track history to complete and manage the project.A contact with Starwood Development recently told me know that they have a number of projects under way right now in North America including Seattle, Scottsdale and Wailea to name a few.

I'm in the beginning researching phase of real estate invest.

if you paid cash and it holds value(equity) one option would be, a bank could give you an equity loan on the existing equity or better find a bank that does construction loans and they ll lend you what its worth now or what it will be worth upon completion. the money will be given in draws as you complete certain phases of the job so you ll have to plan out were and when the money gets spent example windows/carpet deposits and payoffs. another option would be to find partners(investors) to help with the construction costs

Is this the transitional phase from the developer, or dissatisfaction with the one you have now?

Now that I am finished with the build phase and my buyer is ready to close, escrow has just shown that several liens on the property are not cleared.

AGI from $100K to $150K this phases out, and it goes away for AGI over $150K.If you can't take the passive losses, you can carry them forward, and take them without limitation when you sell the property.Jon

Are there any other products out there to ease in the analysis and creation of documents during the offering, due diligence and financing phases?
