The more money you save, the lower your monthly payment because the more you can put down.This is really great advice....some of the best. 

With this particular method, when you purchased the homeowners insurance it would have listed you as the owner, but when the claim is filed your LLC would be the owner.

My current monthly mortgage payment plus projected future mortgage payment (2900+2900 = 5800).

Keep in mind, though, that this approach comes with higher down payment requirements and interest rates, which may not be as favorable

Need input / ideas / comments on following pls.I have 2 SF rentals that I'm facing foreclosure on as I fell behind w/ the mortgage payments on (due to unrelated problems).

I have a family investor that I will borrow from for the down payment, then finance the rest from the bank.

That way we could start renting without needing a new down payment and all of the closing costs.

He has changed bookkeeping platforms 3 times this year and used this as an excuse to delay payments.

I run sum numbers for you please see comments below before refinancing and post refinancing .If I were in your position, I would approach it as follows:Initial Investment Assumptions: Market Value: $360,000 Purchase Price: $360,000 Equity: $0,000Financial Breakdown: Hard Money Loan (LTV 100%): $360,000 Interest Rate: 10% (30-Year Amortization) Monthly Payment: $1,995Upfront Costs: Origination fee (1%): $3,600 Closing Costs (3%): $10,800 Renovation Costs: $10,000 2 Month of Carrying Costs During Renovation: $5,390Total Upfront Required: $29,790Total Capital InvestmentPurchased price $360,000 Upfront Costs $29,790Total: $389,790To make this investment work, you need to rent the whole property for at least $3,165/month, refinance it let say after one year with 5% interest with a traditional mortgage.Year One Rent: Monthly Rent Income: $3,165 Monthly Rent Losses during renovations (2 Months): -$6,330 (-$527/month distributed over 12 months) Total Rent Income: $31,650 per year => $ 2,638 per monthMonthly Expenses: Hard Money Loan Payment (10% Interest): $1,995 / per month interest only Property Tax (Assuming $3,000/year): $250 per month Property Insurance (Assumption): $100 per month Utilities (Hydro, Gas, Water): $292 per month Assuming 0% Vacancy first year Assuming 0 % Repairs & Maintenance first year because unit has been recently renovated Total Monthly Expenses: $2,637Monthly Net Cash Flow: $1Post-Renovation Refinancing Strategy:So far, we’ve purchased the property, completed renovations, and rented it out.Next, you can approach the bank for a refinance to consolidate your initial investment of $29,790 plus your 360k debt into a mortgage.

@Spenser Harding you are right on the money, and speak from the perspective of someone who has invested using a variety of methods + gotten in the trenches with a BRRR.
