You will have smoke contamination in the "air space" where the fire occurred--this could include the HVAC system and may involve extensive cleaning.

@Fong Lee @Jordan Moorhead is the king of these strategies.

Internally, the back of the house leaks air like a sieve.

So if the property is a concern, exit strategies could include you seller financing it to someone, keeping it as a buy-and-hold (if a flip goes south), VRBO/Air BNB, etc.However, wrt your specific question on the loan, aside from putting your home on the line, you could cash-out refinance another property (if you have multiple) and use that to pay off the hard money lender.Another option would be to get private money (family/friends) to pay off the hard money loan and either pay interest or provide equity.Hope this helps.

When they sold the property, they made air quality testing results available to buyers.

The problem as he sees it is no one really predicted a Trump victory, and rather than our economic balloon deflating and then properly inflating again, it continued to inflate, now the air is starting to come out.

Context: I was host in a duplex in Hollywood hills, where the property is appreciated by the guests because it's close to everything in LA, while being in a quiet area with fresh air with balcony with view to the large yard with trees, where you only hear birds,... quiet like a sanctuary (no politics intended). 

I am someone who has a lot of plates spinning in the air between YouTube, Podcasting, and working a full time W2.

I currently have two investment properties in San Antonio and the Air Force is reassigning me there again this summer so also looking for a policy for a primary residence I intend to buy.Cheers!
