In other words, not resold to the government so the bank had more flexibility on the condition.I look at the original commitment letter and it states "xxx amount will be advanced at closing for the purchase of an investment property, and the remaining balance of the loan to be placed into an escrow account to be disbursed as improvements are made".No points, and only one closing, so I don't have to deal with a short term HML that I have to refinance in under a year.Hope that helps!

You would then stress to not incur any improvement cost above $22,000 or you may have to liquidate the property.In this scenariod, $60,000 if you are making an above return at 10% to 12% annually + $30,000 making $4% in a HYSA, the average return is maybe around 8%The blended return would be about 9%You may be better off investing in the stock market, get a slightly lower return but without all the added stress / work.

The pay stubs can be hard copies or digital PDFs generated directly by your employer and sent via email; we cannot accept screen captures to verify income.Once your completed application materials have been received and it appears that you would meet our qualifying criteria, we would send you a link to perform a credit/criminal background check (this minor expense would be yours), and if those results come back acceptable, we would offer to proceed.

The asset class will be dependant on how much capital you have availabile and how much renovations you plan to perform. 2) Is there an income gap between going after 2 units as opposed to 4?

From the sentiment of your post it seems like you're viewing the buyers as strictly investors when they may lean more towards traditional homeowners looking for a quality of life improvement or an improvement on their current financial situation today.Let's say the buyer pays 465k and has a 5% interest rate.

How do other regular condos perform versus them?
