@Brittney Yang surprisingly I have found that I can have glue down LVP installed by a local flooring company, we use Artisent Floors, https://artisentfloors.com/, for our local renovations and they are awesome and they can do it for less than what I can buy the product for at Lowes or HD even with my 10% military discount!

It takes a lot of phone calls and asking around, but you can normally find a local or regional bank that is willing to work with investors on these types of properties.Mike

Woah 13.85% even on an investment property is super high...I got a heloc at a 7.25% (this is variable with the market as with any HELOC) for an investment property.Talk to your local credit union.

Instead, focus on assembling a few key people who can fill the gaps—such as a trusted agent, contractor, and local property management expert etc.
