You'll have options like immediate refis, bridge loans, various hard and soft money loans, rehab lines of credit, more fluid cash-outs, and quicker turnarounds.  

Agreed with @Jonathan Towell.

The great, 3-5 year tenants are not the majority.If the place gets beaten up by tenants, because of the square footage, it will cost a lot to get market ready if you decide to sell it later.The only two arguments for keeping a property like this is if you have a killer loan that you can no longer get or if you are in a soft market and can't sell for what you need.  

In the end I planning on buying a triplex with a hard money or soft money and private lender?

Buffalo's a soft market.

Maybe the plywood needed work but the homeowner didn't want to put up the $$ to do it, so he just had them shingle over soft plywood.

Hello BPSo I am reaching out to see if anyone on here uses computer software for home designs and if so is there soft ware that deals with interior design such as bathrooms and tile as well as smaller detail?

reading books and networking also helped.I learned many of the tricks and creative stuff they were teachingSome of the courses were great, others just sucked the green out of my jeans.I started attending public auction - buying war zone houses - using credit cards and credit lines - borrowed money and the really biggie creative financingThe most important thing I learned about about creative financing is that I DID NOT need to suck up to lenders - yippeeI than discovered a cross pollination of the concepts of creative financing - the synergism of ideas helped me develop new creative financing techniques.Some of those formulas I still use today to close transactionsI work a formula known as Control and Roll - this is a system of controlling real estate with little or no money and assigning the contract within 3 weeks for cash using the auction method of marketing - this system circumvents all of those who want to slow an investors down - like banks - underwriters - inspections - condition of property - agents and others.During those struggling days - I also used a system called "Check Funds" this allowed me to control many buildings without the need for down payment money.Hybrid offers is another one of my pet formulas - this is where the seller becomes a partnerDelayed settlement techniques - with soft contingencies - getting automatic extensions without the need of being rejected.

Back before I threw in the towel on trying to beat the market makers in the stock market and switched to straight indexing, I would always pick a couple of companies in an industry or sector that I was interested in to mitigate the business risk of any one company.
