Will ask lenders bout prepayment penalties and refinancing options as well.Alex

I have some of the required funds in a HYSA, but will most likely need to draw from another account and I'm curious which method is the most efficient in terms of taxes/capital gains, penalties, loan repayments, etc.Based on my previous transactions in the market, I estimate ~$45k cash to close: $20k for the down payment, $15k for closing costs and prepaids, and $10k of starting reserves.

This could include computer delays, the inability to reach the site, creating a late filing, and subsequent penalties.

In theory, since we don't have a prepayment penalty, you could borrow the money, complete the rehab and pay off your loan before your first payment was due.

BUT even then, the contract is valid, it just violated Portland regulations and the owner would owe the tenant the local Relocation Fee (penalty, which is steep). 

I also recommend explaining what the penalty will be if she's not out as scheduled.

Prohibited transactions can result in penalties and disqualification of the Solo 401(k).2.

I’m ok with prepayment penalties before 3 or 5 years.

If you do not report these earnings to the IRS, you can incur IRS penalties as high as $580 – for each worker ($290 for not sending it to the IRS + $290 for not sending it to the contractor)!
