Alternative I have a daughter up in Davis that we could help house hack…

Keep in mind this is sponsor-provided material, not something that the site discovered through research, nor verified. 

If I were you, I would arrange to have your materials removed before they get there to work because city guys are pretty rough on stuff they have to move.We occasionally found issues like the corner of houses built in the easement and sometimes on top of a water or sewer line.

Alternative Financing OptionsIf you and your partner prefer joint ownership from the outset, consider these alternatives:Conventional Loan: Purchase the property together with 20% down (or 15% for multifamily in some cases).

But alternatively, you can hire a manager if the home is big enough to support their salary.

This will usually lead you directly to low barrier stagnant markets where the cash flow represented in your spreadsheet does not transfer to reality and the most of the equity is "paper equity" because you will never see it materialize yet many look at completing the BRRRR as the ultimate success.I recognize I am using some assumptions but let's assume you have $100k to invest and purchase and renovate a home in MARKET A for $400K but once renovated the home is worth $500K.

Unused contingency funds, unless they were received directly from the borrower, must be used to reduce the outstanding balance of the renovation mortgage after all of the renovation work has been completed and the certification of completion has been obtained.The loan is not re-amortized.Draw Schedule:The HomeStyle program has a maximum 4 draw process.The initial draw can be up to 50% of the total project and can be for materials for the project.The final draw will be at least 10% of the total project as retainage and funds will be released upon receipt and approval of final inspection, Certificate of Completion from Appraiser, signed All Bills Paid Affidavits and Lien Waivers.Additional Draw Information:Ø Signed Draw Request by borrower and contractorØ Signed All Bills Paid AffidavitØ GMG review and approve the draw request and will release funds for disbursementØ A check will be issued in the name of the borrower and contractor and delivered to borrower via USPSØ An inspection of work to date will be performed at 50% completeFinal Draw Information:Ø Signed Draw RequestØ Final inspection/Completion Certificate will be required for release of final fundsØ A Title Update showing property free from lien or encumbranceØ General Contractor’s Lien Waiver AffidavitØ Affidavit of Completion GR will review and approve the draw request and will release a check in the name of the borrower and contractor.Change Orders and Cost Overruns:Changes to the initial plan are not permitted unless prior approval by Guaranteed Rate.

Rehab costs and  are key parts of evaluating deals, so it's great that you're diving into these concepts early.For rehab costs, creating a rough estimate starts with understanding the scope of work and local pricing for materials and labor.

The policy consideration behind the higher leveraged loans is to provide financing for individuals who have high earning potential and are at the start of their career where the earning potential has not yet materialized and perhaps are dealing with the added burden of student loans.
