@Andy Milby seek out some advice from a local real estate attorney about suing for specific performance.

Seeking info to aide search and education only, not asking for a deal. 

You could take a withdrawal and pay the 10% penalty but be sure your real estate can make that money back for you in the amount of time you would’ve had to wait.

But 15k is not impossible either and i believe if there’s a will there’s a way, especially for those who seek knowledge, Like I said I work like a dawg!

I feel like this should be prefaced  with the fact that I understand the nuisances cranes/construction cause via traffic and everything else (I, too, live in UTC).That said, I think those who incessantly complain about the issue and seek legislative change to stop it are almost always some combination of selfish, shortsighted, and/or stupid.Typically speaking, you should not mind cranes or construction in areas where you invest for a few reasons - I’m not sure that environmental variation is among the most important/obvious.What is obvious, though, is the fact that cranes/construction are pretty good evidence that you’ve placed yourself in the path of progress.

This does a few things: how much of a loan I can seek how much cash I really need up frontIt would more accurately reflect any appreciation (though I'm planning on being a buy and hold investor, and equity is less critical than positive cashflow, IMHO)Example:Turnkey(TK): Asking price: $35000,  with tenant $650/mo.TK: $300 setup costZestimate:  $18500Closing Cost: $1000In BP's Rental Property Calc I then would put that the rehab cost would be $16800  (16500 premium + $300 setup)the value after $18500So,  what have I missed? 

Problem -financingThat house i live in now has fha financing and I am coming up on my one year.1) am I able to rent this out so soon with out penalty?

On bigger pockets do people ever form long term relationships of investment, or partnerships whereby someone who has money they want to invest would seek someone on the forums who has luxury short term rental experience ownership and management 3+ yrs, looking to expand over 10 years of management and financial experience in a top 10 Forbes destination location here in the United States...

Would it be wiser to simply take what I normally contribute to 401 and keep in a regular savings account that I can access without a penalty so that if I find a property I like I can invest without the hassle?

So if the 0% rate thing is ok to sacrifice for a higher LTV then seek out some different options just for comparison.I do want to mention that two of the common areas of concern for HELOCs I see out there is the 10 year maturity date and the adjustable rate.
