Points are pre-paid interest!

I have, however, had many sellers contribute to my buyer's closing costs - and in one recent sale (3-plex), I got the seller to cover ALL of my buyer's closing costs - which due to some large pre-paid taxes and insurance, totaled $16,000.

If need be, you could offer some incentives to the listing, 1 year home owner warranty, 1 year prepaid lawn maintenance etc.

I've paid for a U-Haul rental, prepaid for a few months storage, paid 2 weeks rent in a short term tenancy building, cash for keys etc.

If you can locate a lender that will loan 100% of the purchase & rehab amounts OR 65% of the ARV, whichever is less (maybe I can suggest one), you will still need closing costs, lender fees, some prepaid interest and funds to start phase one of the rehab.

Prepaid taxes and insurance, another 3-5k.

5/6 ARM at 3%, $1800 in points + $1000 closing costs30 yr fixed at 3.5%, no fees and closing costs covered by rebate except for prepaids

Immediately called airbnb and sent pics but they were completely useless and said they need owners approval to refund the prepaid stay.

The one thing I am calculating is my taxes, I've spent alot in maintenance and repairs this year and with depreciation and other deductions I will make a loss, so I wouldn't want any pre-paid rent to off-set that.

You are only able to borrow the original purchase price as stated on the original hud-1 plus the taxes, prepaid points, closing costs etc.
