Seller has decided to walk with our EM and put the house back on the market.

I ran the numbers two ways: selling vs cash out refi back up to a 75% LTV.

My brother and sister live right outside the Revere and Back Bay area! 

If you are going to pull a HELOC I would target a BRRR or flip so you can for sure pay the HELOC back.

If they don't answer and you leave a message, see if they call you back? 

We went to Delta Build's office on Monday, left our phone number and was told someone woukd get back to us within 2 days. 4 days have passed and no one has called us back.

Awesome to hear and we're excited to have you back in Vegas! 

I'm with you that sidewalk slip and fall litigation may be less likely in the Midwest than say Mid Atlantic which tends to have more litigious cities but dismissing premises liability issues can come back to bite an investor and when these properties have such razor thin margins that an investor must consider the cost benefit analysis of safety against ROI, there is a real estate issue and is usually a losing proposition.   

If they push back on that, walk.

I'm seeking advise from people who may have been down this road before on whether we should seeking other financing methods to go LLC to LLC or quit claim the lot back to our personal names to satisfy the 1031 exchange rules.
