Here are a few options you might consider:Home Equity Loan or HELOC: If you own another property with sufficient equity, you might be able to take out a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to cover the $140K.

DSCR rates are currently in the 7.5% - 9.5% range right now.

Malarkey 30-Year Dimensional Shingles.I have gotten estimates ranging from $5,500 - $7,500, which all seem like total rip-offs to me given the small size of the house.What do you think?

So, obtain sufficient insurance if you don't have an LLC. 

There are some hard money lenders that do not require an appraisal, rates range from 7-9%, and at 65-70% LTV.

Your primary insurance policy with $300,000 in liability coverage should be sufficient in 99.999% of all lawsuits.5.

While it only returns 5.23% currently, it provides a great cushion allowing sufficient time to wait out a crash without having to resort to selling properties at inopportune times - at fire sale prices.5- I keep a large part of my portfolio in high yielding notes secured by real property - and while I want every loan to make payments as agreed, my experience indicates that a certain percentage will default with me owning the property during periods of economic contraction.

Then, look at price range and laws/regulations and that will boil things down a little. 

My initial analysis suggests a conservative offer in the range of $3.2M to $3.35M could be justified, factoring in current market cap rates and the property's upside potential.I'd appreciate any insights on:1.

Hi Aaron,As Nicholas mentioned, there are precautions to be aware of when using high leverage. 10.25% and 9.87% is in range from what I see as HELOCs are ranging in 9's to 10's on average.
