I want to ensure I’m doing this the right way while keeping my finances organized and compliant with any regulations.

If the numbers don't work with it then don't force it and don't rush it.Always ask for full or partial owner financing the answer will sometimes surprise you.We just bought a property with 5k down and owner financing the rest at zero percent.

Typically when you see "cash only" the agent doesn't believe the property can pass a home inspection which isn't relevant for construction loans in most instances and there are plenty of banks, hard money lenders etc. who offer construction financing on distressed buildings.

The only part that Property 1 pays on that loan is the escrow for property tax & insurance for Property 1.Thank you for your insight.You need to look at purchase price to determine cost basis, not how you financed the purchase.

Judges also postpone sale dates for buyers with financing, so cash is likely not necessary to get the date moved.

How did you finance this deal?

Was there really deals to do seller financing and that were already in good conditions?

How are you financing this?

Vet potential partners carefully and aim for relationships that can grow with your portfolio.In this higher interest rate environment, focus on cash flow and creative financing options like the HomeStyle rehab loan or seller financing.
