If you have access to some money you can increase your equity in one jump.

My name is Shelly, and I’m excited to be part of this forum.

Can this be done inside a solo k while also using funds from inside the same solo to do rehab?

Deal with it.Correct me where I'm wrong but Novations can be executed by either a Power of Attorney being given to the investor or by an investor just doing the paperwork, both being done after they secure their interest with an option contract (unless there's some other creative thing I haven't heard about yet).

This will get you 90% of the way there and should be sufficient.It works the same in a saturated area, it's just more to sort through.You are aware that STRs in Denver are allowed only in certain zones and you must live onsite?

and a big believer in starting a conversation about how can we make this transition doable for you. 

This is tough for new investors that focus so hard on cash flow as their main criteria.

If he must attempt to get the low interest rates of 2021 on this deal, I suggest that he instead look for assumable loans.

This worries me a little.

Yep - My firm can do this for rate-term refinances and/or acquisitions, with stipulations (specifically for 85% LTV): Min DSCR of 1.25x+, Min FICO of 720+, SFRs.
