Improved the property from its original state What was the outcome?

COGO is legit, but I can beat them usually on origination points.

You will pay origination on the rehab money but that is the extent of it.

They originally wanted 360k, but the mortgage would have the property running negative for the foreseeable future until all renovations are done, which I won't do. 

I had to fund well beyond the original note to get the project done.

@Scott GorhamSome of the strategies for buying a property if the original mortgage stays in the seller's name would be subject-to or a wraparound mortgage.

Taking into account home prices and interest rates in 2024, that added cost today would be between $1,800 and $2,800 per year for a typical mortgage holder, Zandi told CNN after updating his original paper’s calculations.

One of my original mentors was PRO lease option on the purchase side, however I never felt  peace about it.I was always concerned what if something happened to the original seller and they did not cooperate when it came time to exercise the option.
