Given your numbers, it seems this may offset most or all of your tax liability and make it easier for you to utilize a new entity structure.

Normally I attempt to structure the transactions utilizing an interest only 3-5 year ballon payment (balance due in full). 

I am looking for this to be a short term development so however I can structure the deal where it's the lowest payment, I am happy.

Hi August, I see a few ways you go go about structuring the financing. 

Although no two people have the same experience while starting out, here’s a structured approach to help you get started:1.

Short backstory; I’m a licensed builder in MI and have been on my own for 1.5 years completing structural restorations, insurance claims (roofs, siding, floods, etc), and about 15 or so bathroom remodels.

I would like to know what all qualifies as completely clean here- Electrical wiring is normal and no unlicensed modifications - Structural inspection is also clean.Seller is ready to discount the price by ~20% from market plus the cost to repaint the whole house What are other questions to ask and things to consider in this scenario?

I was recently referred to LendingOne by a fellow investor and just wanted to share my experience thus far as I feel there's a lot of marketing bait and switch happening with lenders that advertise terms and loan structures...Our past and current project:  We do buy-rehab-refi-hold (airbnb) rentals, not regular rehab flips.First off let me start with the things I think LendingOne excels at:Nice dashboard to upload and store all your documents to track how the loan process is coming along. 

Any suggestions on how to best structure the deal in order to put down less cash or be able to take the cash out if I buy it low enough?

You'll want to do due diligence on the more expensive fixes such as foundation, structure, electrical systems, etc.
