I may or may not need to take out a small construction loan along the way, depending on how expensive things get.

I heard of a situation (I forget the institution name) that also had the same set up as Baselane.

Here is our first deal:- We each hold 50/50 of the property on the title (I contributed 80% of downpayment, and he was supposed to contribute 20% to the downpayment, and we got a hard money loan)- after we sold the property, I had to fill out the 539 form for withholding tax in CA.- The partner brought in a cash contributor for his portion (let's say A, who got 50% of my partner's profit, basically 25% of the profit) to the deal and put a lien on the property.

Get into the property with cash and refinance on the back end with a commercial loan that doesn't require a 12-18 month seasoning period.

What do you do in this situation?

And or course, short term loan for HELOC and then refinance later.

It depends on the situation.

$300K should allow you to buy a duplex/2-unit and both doors should be offering a profit even at 15% down.If you are in a situation where you are getting hit with high taxes, high rate, low rents it might be a "Walk away deal".I have to have conversations daily talking people out of buying a particular home because its a bad deal.

Hi My name Is  Eloisa I just bought my first property to lived in, I used the 203k loan  that it was a little hustle.Just to share a little more about this loan that in my opinion was better than a regular FHA because the house that I got it was renovated totally the entire house,!! 

Without knowing anything about your financial situation or what price ranges you're looking at, if you don't already own a primary residence in the Bay Area, I would house hack.
