I keep reading about all the weird financing issues in this space so I wouldn't actually put money in until mid 2025 or later.  

Hi guysI have a handyman who is super knowledgeable and he is very comfortable connecting the 220 wires for a mini split and also for a hot tub. im getting extremely high quotes for a certified electrician to do it. what are your thoughts?

However, in private financing it is customary for the borrower to foot those costs.You can find each institution's registered account and arm's-length mortgage guidelines, and fees on their respective websites.

The proceeds could be reinvested into something with better returns or even used to simplify your finances(Like Bettment still offer 4.75% for new customers, and you don't need to do anything!).

I had little choice since I was financing out of a construction loan that had little time before a ballon.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

I worked with a travel nurse who does shift work and 5 lenders said that they couldn’t finance her primary residence purchase and I ended up making it happen for her. 

I used a private lendor to fund the re-hab (cash) and owner financed the purchase price (minus down payment) I have a bank account linked to Stessa and I see the cash deposit in the transaction tab. 

@Isua Mbang I haven't used this product but it comes and goes under different monikers, velocity banking/all in one loan/accelerated primary residence payoff etc It could potentially work but keep in mind that most people don't have stable enough finances to make this work.

This gives you a foundation for making a fair offer.Secure Financing: Be prepared to show you’re a serious buyer with funding lined up, whether through cash, traditional financing, or a creative option like seller financing.Have a Strategy for Repairs or Development: If the property is distressed, outline how you’ll handle improvements to bring it back to productive use.
