Just too much money floating around out there and still not enough inventory to help soften the blows of 18 offers and $100k over ask.

They can float the entire package if needed.Basically we are positioning with land purchases, but holding building for now.  .    

ACH is free on both sides; but they hold the money for 7 days (they make the money on float)2.

Pet friendly setup: no carpeting - vinyl floating or glue-down everywhere; fenced-in back yards in most of the homes; no expensive woodwork or anything like that. 

What I do when dealing with a low offer is float the offer to the listing agent orally to see if it is even worth putting in writing.

A lot of deals that were hurt were these deals that had floating rate debt. 

The difference is , the 4 of them uses floating debt without caps, while one is using fixed debt of 4.5% (for example).

Business/consumer CC float - cash advance for labor or materials, box store card like Lowe's/HDIt doesn't sound like it's possible to just band-aid the unit and rent it for less until you get your DTI under control, so you'll probably have to turn to one of those options. 

@Risha Walden Very very few banks will do a HELOC on an investment property and you will pay a very high rate, which will be floating (going up with fed rate).

If they had deposited the non refundable deposit with the title company, their deposit is going to float around in escrow limbo now.
