Looks like you’re asking for a private loan at 6% interest.  

If so, and you get a reasonable 7% loan on the $375k your payment will be $2496/mo.

.: Quote from @Chris Seveney: @James WiseI was sitting next to a doctor at a conference who did a private money loan and lost $$200k then he did a jv deal where he became co-owner of a LLC, gave a personal guarantee on the asset and put money in the deal to buy it but didn’t put a lien on property so partner went and leveraged the assets as well and ran off and dr had personal guarantee.They then bought a property and renovated half of it then decided to knock it down….I had a successful shoulder surgeon ask me to list his apartment building that was under-performing.

Still hungry lenders throwing loans around.

As far as financing, I have considered  1) an FHA loan with a cosigner, and 2) going off market and approaching many owners about potentially seller financing.Any and all feedback, advice, and info on potential pitfalls would be appreciated!

Compared to a mortgage broker that adds on so many fees for the same loan.

I would assume the same applies to a VA loan.

You are buying a primary residence so should be able to take advantage of an FHA backed loan.

Unfortunately, Texas has a law prohibiting HELOCs on rental properties and I believe they also have a 70-75% max total loans allowed on the property which cuts into the equity I've built and would only allow for me to access 30K which would make it less appealing to go through the process for only 30K.

I plan to put two duplexes on the property but with this high appraisal is there a smarter thing to do to pull that money out of it or just use it for better collateral for the construction loan most banks will lend on the transfer price within a seasoning period. we face the same issues for land entitlement and development.
