Some could disagree as getting all cash and putting it in the stock market would yield a much higher return than the rate on a loan.2.

I am planning on getting into a deal with 0% down VA loan which will save me some upfront capital and can be used for damages and such.

I'm in the same boat, I've been happily using Stessa for a couple years and recently I'm having connection problems and they're not connecting with mortgage companies that are buying out my loans.

@Matthew Kwan I believe it depends on the type of loan.

At this time in the project, is it possible to take out a loan against the property in order to buy a great investment which would be a patch-n-paint and could become an awesome rental?

I know that sounds weird, but you build wealth faster on bigger properties due to higher rent prices, bigger loan buy down, tax savings, and appreciation. 

I've seen you post a few times about 70% max leverage but 75% is widely available, at lease with non-conventional 30Y DSCR loans.  

Philadelphia has implemented various forms legislation over the years between abatements, land banks and density bonuses geared towards promoting development in areas that suffered from disinvestment and housing affordability challenges with some legislation having been more effective than others. 

Sounds like you're taking advantage of your favorable VA loan options smartly too.Good work - can't wait to hear about your next deal!

The loans were varied and some were able to close sooner than others and they wanted to close before the others but we held out because we needed to close all of them at the same time to avoid any last minute standoffs or complications.
