I paid both sides of closing costs. 100% seller finance, 5% interest, amortized over 23 years, with a balloon payment of the principle balance due after 30 months.

After reviewing the cost to rehab and the area of town, I decided to Wholesale for a quick profit.Sold it on a Real Estate Contract (Owner Financing) with $100k down, the balance is financed at 10% for 13 months, then the loan is called.

I’m a mother, a wife, and I work in healthcare, so balancing everything is tough, but real estate is my passion, and I’m chasing my dreams.

Total rent between the three is $3200/month.I have an adjustable 20 year mortgage with a balance of $100,000~ at 4.95% that is set to adjust in 2026.I also have a HELOC on that property at $180K~ with a 9.75% rate. 

Then, give the GC or (Tile Contractor), enough to buy the tile only...after they are completely finished, then pay them the balance due on the tile ....only.

We are not seeing nearly as generous for a 12 month leaseback, I have one right now, I either get term of LTV, but not both for a short term SLB.Re-tenanting is your biggest risk, what does your balance sheet look like if you have to hold it vacant for 12 months?

A Heloc can never be used as a PITI reserve, or an asset instead its a debt burden and an additional trade line on credit.A Heloc carries a higher risk when it comes to security meaning if you miss a payment even by mistake or for any reason, your scores drop, or your balances start to change your DTI or usage percentage.

We also have a HELOC with a balance from repairs and an 8% interest only rate.- Currently have around 15% LTV - so 85% equity. - The payments are now 60-90%, principal, which is great, except for tax reporting purposes in 2023 showing a profit.- 2024 almost much every possible repair imaginable was needed among the units, so the headaches and costs were compounded - now the properties are buttoned up for the most part and we'll probably show a loss for 2024 taxes.- We don't cash flow at all because we were bullish on the BRRRRs and also did some flip rehabs using some of that equity and pocketed it years ago. 

Combining these strategies often gives investors the best balance of cost, simplicity, and security.
