Concurrent with all of these, look at EVERY potential deal.6.

I did cash out and used part as down payment on another deal and closed concurrently.

Hi @Lisa Lincoln,As long as your lender is REI friendly and can wrap her or his brain around the "big picture" rather than spewing guidelines and thinking little picture, and as long as you keep them fully in the loop, it really shouldn't be a big deal.Ask about the difference between staggered, concurrent, and back-to-back closings. 

I believe @Stuart Birdsong was referring to the possibility that the Loan To Value (LTV) portrayal of an owner's mortgage may only account for their FIRST mortgage on a property, but not take into account any SECOND mortgage (higher interest rates and risk level) that the owner may have also taken out on the same property, concurrently?

The ownership and use periods need not be concurrent.

IMO your best bet as a new agent is to suck up all the good noobie training KW is known for, but let ALL things pertaining to their concurrent pyramid scheme "profit sharing" go in one ear and out the other.

Unless rents go up concurrently, buy & hold will be less attractive for those using leverage, as the spread between costs and income will be smaller.2.

@Joshua Minczeski I'd get tax planning done concurrently.

We are also getting the appraisal back next week so we are working on the financing hump concurrently.

Outside of closing is fine, as long as it is done concurrently.
