But let’s go a later deeper - my down payment would come out of a well performing stock portfolio.

Theoretically you could sue them performance. 

The bank will put a hold on them, so you can't just draw them out, so don't plan to need them for a while.This will cost you an appraisal on both properties to be performed by that lender. 

The price should reflect the current performance, not the seller’s expectations for the future.Seller financing is a big plus.

Do not rely on your subcontractors to know/perform the code correctly for your area.

Your name and credit would stay with the existing note, which you would keep paying on - ideally yourself with money you receive from the "buyer", because if they don't pay your credit is wrecked and your house is in foreclosure.If you search on here you'll see everyone and their brother looking to do Subto and it's a nightmare unless the buyer has the funds to pay the note off if/when the original lender figures out you don't occupy the property any more and are attempting to do what you want to do, since most loans are going to specify that performance.  

I had a unique perspective of how these two industries working together.While performing an inspection on a house, I got to chat with the seller and found he was a commercial construction superintendent for a large local company.

Some packages genuinely improve property performance, while others might feel excessive.

Lenders that don’t require an appraisal will perform a desktop appraisal but will typically have a very conservative view on the value of the property to protect the company’s investment.

The motivation is not necessarily to scale into larger opportunities but rather to achieve better balance and also optimize the performance of the projects and types of projects I currently pursue.I have no shortage of individuals who possess specific skill set who would want exclusive rights to that particular service vertical in return for contributing capital and a partnership interest (construction background and wants to take over all construction duties or someone who is a sales broker and wants to list all of the properties etc.)
