Also, the condominium only accepts conventional loans but I'm only familiar with 203k which I believe is FHA...is there a conventional rehab loan alternative? 

We plan to rent the property and was wondering if anyone have any suggestions regarding what type of flooring would be a good alternative to wood.

I want to eventually start an alternative/DIY homes contracting business where we build upscale container homes, geodesic domes, tiny homes, convert trailers into themed hotel rooms etc so seeking for some solid advice in that realm. 

I feel it's safer for the tenants for the carpet to be there.

Another alternative is to find another source for comps.

If you have the ability to HELOC that’s probably a safer bet just starting out.

It's an incestuous transaction.If you plan to go this route, I would recommend safer investments in Class A or B communities.

Alternatively, your passive losses get collected until you can use them against passive gains. 

Carpet/other preferred alternative, and refinish when ready to sell because you can only sand that wood down so much!

Hi, I'm looking to access the equity of my 10 mortgage-free SFH rentalsI know that I can set up a HELOC for each home, but that will give me 10 different HELOC accounts to manage, which would be a PITAAre there any alternatives I should consider?
