A cash-out refi has closing costs, and if you sell soon, you may not benefit enough to justify the expense.Also, remember that doing a VA cash-out refi will reset your loan terms, and you’ll still pay realtor fees if you sell.

Our contract states that we charge the entire contract, including unpaid fees. 

We have everything from a small amount of senior living in an existing condo plat, to average size fee simple and dense build to rent with storage.

It's Dec. 2024 and, while the house is built, septic still needs to be installed, exterior grounds, and internal trim and appliances are yet to be completed.

You will not need to join CAR/NAR and I offer super high fee splits.  

Depending on your long term goals I wholesale and use the assignments fees to buy free and clear properties and I use creative marketing to buy and keep in my portfolio. 

We had to bring the 1925 house to 2023 code which involved un-installing 26 windows that were already nicely installed (in appearance) in the house, reframing them to 2023 standards (at the time) which also involved strapping the bottom of the wood framing with metal straps (mind you this all after we had already completed the inside renovation).  

Interesting part applicant 2 works for a well known company as installation engineer for 15 years.

At the end of the day, it really depends on the borrower profile, and their priorities as they relate to time, fees, etc. 3.
