I was looking for advice on what to do to be able to afford both.

I don’t do any.

Hello,We are being approached to GC/partner on a spec home with whom the client owns the lot and will be securing the construction financing himself in order to do the deal.

@Brandon StainesOption 1: do nothing you stay on mortgage and good is you still own 50% of house but bad is if she defaults then it hurts your credit tooOption 2: have her buy you out but that would require a new mortgage at a much higher rateNot much else you can do.

Like you, i'd be interested if anyone here has any experience with doing this 'technique'. 

Thanks Jonathan - do you have recommendation on if it's best then to flip in this market?

Don’t do house tax sales unless you can bulldoze.  

If you have the money and a financial foundation to do that then that seems ideal.

VA assumptions do not require the borrower assuming the loan to be a veteran, but I'm not sure if it can be assumed for an investment purchase.

How do I deduct mortgage interest on my taxes?
