Also, how often is an application fee required when applying for financing with private lenders?

@Linda WeygantSchedule E applies whether I am Sole Proprietor, LLC, filing as S-Corp, etc.?

Initially, when applying for our HELOC, our home was appraised at $235,000.

I'm sure you can apply for a variance to build on the property line, or at least much closer to it.

Seller plans to purchase a primary residence needing repairs, and will be applying for a 203k instead of using the funds from the sale of the duplex.

However, there are ways around it, such as having tenants deposit something other than cash (i.e. money orders, checks, etc), or just set up a business account like I did because these rules usually only apply to personal accounts. 

I recently applied to drop PMI and found that it was valued at $265k and we owe about $165k - so $100k in equity.

@Ashley Hughes - I'll give you what I give my buyers I work with (as well as things I've used and other investors and agents have used to win multiple offer situations in the past) of course, they may not all apply or be right for you, but I think it's good to know you have the options!

@Jeff MillsI’m not a fan of funding with a credit card either, but if you have the ability to apply for a new credit card (good Credit) many cards are zero percent interest for the first 12-18 months.  

Hopefully some on here are interested in quant or statistics and how it can be applied to rents.
