I have enough for 20% down of the $7 Million I would have budgeted for but wouldn't have enough again to cover the acquisition cost and then interest payments on a construction loan.Any help is appreciated Thank you

Renting allowed them to cover costs and build equity, while selling in a hot market helped them capitalize on the home’s increased value.Let me know if you’re interested in financing options for similar deals, happy to assist!

I was recently laid off and have accumulated about $20,000 in credit card debt, primarily from paying last year's property taxes and covering a few months of living expenses.

That’s perhaps a B area.Do you see 6 inch tall grass, moldy siding, and damaged roofs here and there?

When purchasing, things that will amplify rates are roofs that have less than 10 years life, old water heaters, flood zones etc.

The most cost effective and safe investment you can make to cover your 50K debt and still use the same 20K capital to increase the value of your holdings is invest in short term fx government treasury swaps.

Personally, I would take the cash and buy an investment property and ensure I also had enough cash to cover all expenses for six months.

However, I always caution that, if you are using the LLC as cover for being negligent in providing safe accommodations, it will not protect you.

A blanket loan is one note, one deed, one mortgage, that covers bulk of small valued individual assets.  

If you're going the umbrella insurance route, perhaps see if it will cover you for several things including just the routine slip and fall (like mold or earthquake).
