Also, look out for red flags like neglect, possible liens, and unpermitted renovations.### FinancingMake sure you have your financial matters in order.

Green is good yellow needs to be looked at and Red is there is something wrong.. you simply walk in and pick up a copy of it on the counter..

On the siding maybe do something like a desert tan with some red hue that’s a light warm and inviting design.

Sometimes a face-to-face conversation can cut through the red tape faster than any paperwork shuffle.It might feel like the city's operating without accountability, but there are folks within the system who genuinely want to help - you just have to find them.

There is also the local knowledge of a market like here in Lake Tahoe where lending can be trickier so an offer with a local lender might get chosen because they have a reputation to get a deal done vs a national lender that can have more red tape and a slower process. 

It's definitely an outside-the-box idea to transfer the property to an LLC before applying for the HELOC.If you move the property to an LLC, lenders might see the transfer as a red flag.

I think there is another case study of using federal land for affordable housing in DC that has been held up with red tape for decades.  

Any red flags ?

Hey @Peter Faulkner, that definitely is alot of red flags.

Some red flags to watch for are inconsistent fonts, blurry text, or mismatched information across pages.
