As far as capital, most investment loans would require you to do 20-25% on a SFH.

Many lessons have been learned firstly is you can’t be too nice or trusting and second is, don’t wait to figure out the refinance and cash out process and until you are almost done with rehabbing the property because currently going through a very lengthy, cash out refinance ordeal at the moment as I’m trying to get financing terms finalized as we speak.

The other thing is for commercial loans the brokers usually prefer it to be bigger.

During the Maverick Investment Group webinar, ABC Baltimore made the following guarantees that were also in our final contract with ABC Baltimore-1) If the rehab takes longer than 120 days, the seller (ABC Baltimore) will pay us a rental guarantee of $1400 per month.2) If the house after rehab is completed appraises for less than our total purchase price of $106,000 then the seller will buy the house back.Assured by these guarantees in the contract, we signed the contract for $106,000.

You can also double hack these if you have enough units and live in one unit and use one unit for your business, but of course that decreases your cash flow but increases your usability.You can also use an FHA loan to get a mixed-use property with only 3.5% down if the residential square footage if more than 50% of the total square footage.

Paid off my primary when it got down to 90K.... not a ton of loan left, so I just paid it off, but still had plenty of $$ to invest in other things...it didnt tap me dry to do it.Exactly. 

If you and your family are willing to house hack and use either an FHA 203k or homestyle renovation loan, the path of least resistance with the lowest risk, in my opinion.If you didn't want to house hack you could try a live-in-flip with those same loan programs! 

The price was 500k and we used a DSCR loan for the purchase.
