My ultimate goal is not using my savings during this process, because I want to train myself from the onset to think creatively and not deplete my reserves instead of finding a better deal or more productive relationship.

Hi Kristin, if you reached out to a lender about refinancing the property and they turned you away due to the loan amount, then it was most likely a DSCR loan product.

Bottom line I bought them ----halfway thru the Covid craze for $245k.  

Do you need new gas lines?

New roof and gutters, updated vinyl double pane windows, resurfaced parking lot, and upgraded main water line.  

What were the biggest line items?

Hi Eric, Have you lined up the financing portion yet?

Let me know if you’d like specific product suggestions—I’d be happy to help!
