You may have to do one as part of the loan process and I wouldn't want you to end up paying for 2 appraisals if the lender doesn't take the one you ordered on your own.

Preforeclosure owner finance wrap, paid off the default payments and taxes with cash and assumed the owners loan.

Good Morning,So I have always dreamed of getting a duplex as my first house and to house hack to get my foot in the door in real estate investing.

It super easy you sign up to have a quick call and do a quick tutorial with a Rep and you receive a certificate that you give to the Banker/Loan officer.

Through a hard money lender, but I will take out a DSCR loan in March to refinance.

.- Collect Tax Certificate to verify Property Taxes are Paid- Get a current statement from the seller to verify the existing balance, if they are delinquent, you can get the bank on the phone to verify the amount to make the loan current.- Review the loan documents, there is most likely a due on sale clause, which is why you won't find a title company to process these for you.

Hi @Vincent Plant,You've gotten some great advice on what to look for in a hard money loan.

Hard money loan that covered 100% of rehab and 90% of purchase.

If you Bank/Lender does not allow it you can refinace the mortgage into a DSCR or true Portfolio loan program. 

They have also outsourced their TAX SERVICES and despite my constant request to expedite my tax filing so that we can apply for a CRITICAL BUSINESS LOAN TO EXPAND OUR BUSINESS, THEY SAT ON OUR TAX and BOOKEEPING files for 7 months.
