You can do this all at once if your state has a low cap (rent for our units has a late fee applied on the second) or if you're allowed a larger late fee you can apply it in stages 1/3 on the second, 1/3 on the 7th 1/3 on the 11th. 

If you could renovate and split off an ADU or even apply to turn it into a duplex or triplex (although that will cost plenty of money with new kitchens, utilities, etc.) that could very well be worth it.

Quote from @Mary Joe: As long as you have justification and you apply the standard equally to all applicants, you should be fine. 1.

They go through their underwriting process and approval, which as I mentioned may be slower than applying for a new loan. 

(BTW, that agreed on price should be the main data point in value).Even in a commercial appraisal, applying a cap rate to determine value, +- a quarter percent, which is a perfectly reasonable delta amount, will swing those values dramatically.Like BPOs, appraisals also use terrible comps many times, especially when they are doing so blind with no set sales price set to achieve.

Now that you are a GC...you'll need to learn how to apply for permits and insurance.  

@Matt Devincenzo I agree - Section 121 Exclusion applies in this case. 

In order to apply for rental assistance you need the eviction summons. 

HELOC bank doesn't want their line used as a term loan on real estate they don't have collateralized and the bank that you apply for a loan for doesn't want your down payment to be borrowed.If you wanted to get the HELOC for home improvements then decide to draw on it for liquidity, had it sit in a bank account for a couple months and then applied for a MF loan and used it as the down payment, you'd have to answer no to the question, "is any part of the down payment borrowed".

Where did you see it only applies to California?
