multiple purchase options: MLS, off market, auctions, FSBO, short sales, etc.  

NACA another OO option.  

Loan assumption isn't an option here.

Some of the more eco-friendly options can put out significantly less...

I'm currently weighing my options between using cash from my HELOC or getting a private money loan for the purchase and rehab of a property.

Here are the details:Assumable loan balance: $750k at 2.75%List price: $950kDownpayment needed: $200k to cover the differenceMy initial plan to make this deal work included a few options:Getting a loan for the $200k difference.Bringing in a partner.Asking for seller financing.However, when I discussed these options with my agent, I hit a few roadblocks:Second Mortgage: My agent said no bank would provide a second position loan for the $200k.Seller Financing: He mentioned that 99% of sellers would reject this, though we're asking anyway.Agent's Advice: He suggested I just get a conventional loan and put 5% down for the full $950k, but I feel this defeats the purpose of leveraging the assumable loan.Given these challenges, I’m trying to figure out the best way to raise the $200k.

Give them your price as option A.

Tenant cloud is probably the cheapest option out there.

You will then have a few options with that rent money....you can put it into principal or you can start saving it to purchase yet another property.
