Maybe a better question would have been if you know how much money you have for a down payment on a property? 

The main thing that pops out at me every month is that less than half of my payment goes to paying the principle down, over half goes to the interest, taxes, and insurance, ect. 

Your $80K HELOC can serve as the down payment, as most lenders require 20%-25% of total project costs upfront.

However, finding properties that would cash flow with a 20-25% down payment on 400k property has been challenging.

.$150 x 12 months = $1,800If you put $45,000 into real estate as a down payment, you are looking at a 4% cash on cash return.I would consider this decent.If you put $20,000 into the deal, the cash on cash return is higher and its better.If you put $200,000 into the deal, the cash on cash return is lower and considered worse.However, cash on cash return is not the only return you should consider, you should also consider appreciation.My benchmark is trying to achieve atleast an 8% return between appreciation and cash flow.Best of luck!

To make a long story short, they are no longer able to make payments on the property and are in danger of losing it.I have a rental property in Southern California that I currently own whose value if I sell should cover the outstanding loan balance on the farm.

It's probably going to mean paying points at closing, a high rate, and a serious pre-payment penalty (like 5 years). 

where is see a total cluster with Morby students is they are now selling their car's sub too.. can just see it.. sell a car to someone on facebook with the promise they will pay our payments ..

@Duarte MarquesPossibly but highly not recommendedFor those with no real estate experience or experience in taking on debt, it’s not easyTo do it also with little to no down payment or reserves in most occasions will end in disasterReminds me of when in high school a friend used to let his dog drive his car.

I am primarily concerned with completing renovations in a timely and satisfactory condition, so I foresee the selection of GC looming large in my project's success.
