The transfer of title could trigger negative covenants in the loan (eg: Due on Sale Clause).

Looking for ways to improve my investment. 

I was attracted to Real Estate investing 6 years ago but realized I needed to improve my income first.

One of the things we ran into was ending up under $100,000 on our loan for or refi.

Add in the high interest rates on construction loans and mortgages, and it all makes for a difficult market for real estate investing.

We did live in it for one year to satisfy the FHA loan and then moved out, so unfortunately it would have to be refinanced as an investment property with worse rates (8.1%) and higher LTV (25%).

Almost all assumable loans are FHA or VA loans, which I believe have to be closed in your own name.  

We won't make a loan if it does not look like the rehabber can earn a profit of at least 10 to 12% of the ARV, converted to dollars, of course.This approach takes both your profit, in dollars, into account as well as the value of the property.

I am always looking to improve my tenants' stays, as I have a high return guest ratio with quality tenants, including professional athletes, executives, and more.

We have experience with 2 family stick built but log home improvements are new to us.
