@Mike O. at the worst, if your tax preparer is competent in preparing your taxes, this forum can steer you in the right direction with 1031 concerns or many other aspects of real estate.  

Hi @Steve Bracero Yes, off market are almost always going to be the better deals due to the lack of competition and lack of an agent to steer sellers on what can and can't be negotiated as well as saving the seller the cost of agent comissions which are generally 5%.

No agent should be telling you which areas to stay away from because this can be seen as steering.

I have a couple detailed financing questions I'm hoping you can help me with.1) I was talking with a lender today who asserted that, in order to do a conventional (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac) cash out refi of a BRRRR SFR, you typically need to pay 2-3 points for a 6.25% rate and 70-75% cash out, and that getting a loan for less than $100k was difficult to do.This sounded really different than everything I've heard on BP (I haven't heard about people needing to pay so many points or facing a $100k minimum loan - $50k yes).Is there some truth to this, or was I just being steered to the business line of credit and line of exposure that we proceeded to talk about?

The ones that do exist are very old which can lead to some very expensive repairs so I tend to steer clear of them.  

I do not sell or use hard money, I can steer you to someone who fits your unique situation, without any commission.

FHA and other residential loans like to steer clear of even the appearance of a commercial property. 

Right now my 2014 car has it where my phone sincs with my dash computer automatically when i sit in the car and my volume and call control and everything is from the touch of my steering wheel.

This is completely new to me so I'm hoping someone can steer me in the direction of a company that can provide the right coverage. 

So, do you think they'd tell you to invest in Detroit proper over the suburbs and steer your business away?
