Since your property has high resale potential, some lenders may be willing to work with you.Cash-Out Refinance – If you’re open to refinancing, you could take out a new mortgage for a portion of the home’s value (say, 60-70% of the $500K), and use the cash difference for renovations.Personal Loan – If you have good credit, you might qualify for a personal loan for part of the rehab costs, though interest rates are typically higher than secured loans.Partner with an Investor – Given the potential profit, you may be able to find a real estate investor or contractor willing to finance the rehab in exchange for a share of the profits upon sale.Your best option depends on your financial standing, timeline, and risk tolerance.

Additionally, if your goal is to maximize personal financial benefits, consider profit distributions from the property-owning LLC, which may provide tax flexibility depending on your situation.By adhering to FMV, maintaining proper documentation, and structuring the lease agreement carefully, you can optimize tax benefits while staying compliant.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I would not borrow from ANY lender I learned of over the internet unless I knwe personally people who had used them. 

Hi Warren,  I've only heard positive reviews about M&M but have not personally used them.  

If I understand correctly; the seller would receive 80% ($40,000) directly from the mortgagee at closing and would enter into a personal agreement with me for the 20% down payment ($10,000) in which he would be reimbursed separately from my mortgage payments at a separately agreed upon rate and term?

I recently sold my personal house , had a buyer get a home inspection , and tried the same crap , to the tune of $60K .

One person's crazy is another person's sanity!

I don't have any brand preferences personally (I use Fantasy Spas at most of my units but I'm sure there are alot of reputable options), but just make sure wherever you place it is built to handle that type of weight.

I had the initial call with a PadSplit sales person, but I wanted to talk to somebody who's actually doing it to get their perspective and advice.

It can be a very good market, but the why behind your choice may help us give you better advice on how to move forward.Before realtors and property managers, you really need to meet other investors so you are making a good move by trying to do that here, but it would be better if you could do it in person.
