Most will cover up to 100% of the renovation costs and 70-90% of the purchase price, depending on factors like the type of property itself, your experience, credit position, and the lender’s specific guidelines.  

You could also consider doing some value-add projects (if you have time/know how) to build even more equity if your specific neighborhood supports higher values for the improvements.You said that you like the idea of owning multiple investments and having the option to sell some down the road.Is it an option for you to stay where you're at and simply build a portfolio of other rentals in the area?

Is something wrong with the property? 

If I’m wrong we lose potential equity gains.

:-) Most agents are open to working with investors like any other deal... but do they really add a specific value to the investor?

@Michelle Hardy Just adding, check your local city too for their requirements, many have specific requirements that the state may not have.Here in VT in the towns my properties are in, there is not a requirement to keep them separate or pay interest. 

Hey @Ashley Kroft I love using Pricelabs feature of creating a comp set because you can really drill down to the finer details of what others are doing in the market, in your specific area.

The original goal, rightly or wrongly, was to maximize rentable units, so we rebuilt the main house from the foundation up into a 3 bed 2 Bath 1,600 sq foot main house, and added a 600 sq ft 1 Bed 1 Bath JADU, along with a 1,200 sq ft 3 Bed 3 Bath ADU.

My company has a departmental structure however all of our staff members' phone numbers and emails are on our website so people can get in touch with whoever is best suited to tackle a specific issue.

If it did not, did the builder provide a specific for their refusal?
