If First Eagle’s sale leads to more private equity firms entering real estate lending, investors could see:✔ More flexible financing options – Private equity firms may offer alternative lending products.✔ Potential changes in loan terms – Depending on capital market shifts, interest rates for real estate investors may become more favorable.3.

I want to make sure I'm not missing something.I can withdraw penalty free from prior Roth contributions and 5+ year old conversions, an inherited tradtional IRA, an HSA with prior medical receipts, among several other options.

I hope this is a help and if you need any help with financing options feel free to DM me.

I do agree with @Jules Aton though, the best option may be to wait and save up for your down payment.

Another option is to estimate value based on potential income and market cap rates, which can give you an investor’s perspective.

It would cost a lot to get the planning approval and do a complete renovation of the 2 units.Can anyone suggest what would be my options at this point?

Still, I think you'd find it difficult to find one that would be a good long-term investment unless you had another ~20-30 years to go, it's at least cash neutral, and you don't plan to hold it too long (to avoid too much investment loss and before you get to the point where it's unsellable because of too few years left); that's another way of saying that maybe it suits your cash needs in the near-term or is at least less of a pill to swallow than other options until you find something that's more of a sensible long-term play

Utah County has the best new construction options in the state when it comes to real estate investing.I own properties in Utah, Salt Lake, Wasatch, Sanpete, Millard, and Sevier counties.
