Hard money loans offer fast approval and don't risk personal assets but come with high-interest rates and fees, which can be tax-deductible as carrying costs.

If I add up all the lender fees and my holding costs—like points, origination fees, and interest —I can figure out how much profit I’ll make and what my maximum offer should be.

If you take the heloc to pay off siblings, I would still offer a big "Cash Now" discount so that they get paid quick.

I wouldn't offer this to start with but these tenants may have difficulty getting out even if they want to be 100% cooperative.

One reason I joined is because I genuinely needed the exact solution Baselane offers: a banking account that automatically categorizes rental transactions, streamlined reporting, and easy exports.

I have an accepted offer on a luxury cabin in the sierras.  

everything on and off market gets multiple offers almost immediately. 

Offer: $575K.

If so I can offer some ideas.ttys,Bill
