Purchase price: $141,000 Cash invested: $32,000 Sale price: $220,000 In collaboration with our client, we expedited the liquidation of their property, which we had managed for years.

Purchase price $53K cash, used LLC - Lesson learned with buying cash...killed my liquidity- 11 months in ownership the tenant destroyed the property, stole all the appliances and even stole the interior door, then locked me out of the property.- A year later I built up money for rehab (cash + busn credit card) - $30K - rehabbed the entire house, except the roof, windows and doors.- Property now rented for $1000 per mth- Current Value Estimates: Redfin - $114K, Trulia - $113K, Zillow: $113K; still doing research on comps because the area is hit and miss so last I saw was a projected $100K***************************************************************************************************************************- Navy Federal Credit Union say they can do 65% of original purchase price in cash out refinance - $34K- Hard-money lender offered $30K at 9.9% for 6 months as rehab loan, which I'd use to replace roof, windows, doors, and cutdown at few trees;  then cashout refi for 50% of the appraised value between 6 and 9 % depending on personal credit.

Has anyone used a Liquid Asset Line (LAL) when purchasing a real estate investment?

In addition, I think there's more "control" with stocks in the sense that you can pull your money out whenever versus real estate, the money is not liquid. 

I will liquidating two of them, possibly three, to regain capital to venture into another market.

Hence I don't have this capital until next summer :) I plan to learn from now until thenT-bills are extremely liquid.

Exterior spraying I do hire.  

I have good credit (730+) and solid income.I am currently lined up for a conventional loan with ~15% down, 6.5% rate, and low closing costs but this would use up most of my liquid cash (minus emergency fund).

For thickness of insulation reasons, 2x6 studs against the outside wall would be best, or 2x4 studs and spray foam insulation (R=19 or 21) (R=13 in a 2x4 stud would be OK.)

SFH are more available, affordable, and sellable because of higher demand and larger market pool of buyers making SFH more liquid.
