I have cash, but not enough for the purchase price i am targeting (500k-$1MM).   

I'd also be shocked if there's any cash-flow after the refinance.

And would they be willing to do financing for you so you don't have to pay cash up front? 

I do measure my cash on cash return for my business and for each property. 

Purchase price: $570,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This is my first house hack!

Refuses to extend the 15 day escrow which we did because we were told it was a cash deal.
