But as an alternative there is a way to buy an investment home and add in all the dollars to rehab as a small investor with the loan in your name, not your LLC.

Is there an alternative or better way to you would set up the partnership?

This, in turn, increases supply and by its nature cuts down demand.

It just sucks that if the lenders appraisal comes in lower, there are really no other alternatives to revisiting that figure.

Good afternoon BP users,I am interested in getting into the REI industry and I’m curious to know if there is a way to get a down payment via alternative financing or private lending. 

Naturally folks brought some of their own stuff.House cleaning: we had a chore board.

If I rent it out in March with a 12 month lease, when the lease is up and if the tenant leaves, there's going to be some down time to get the house back in rent ready condition, so it will naturally slowly creep up to September and then start something else like a 7 month lease to get it back to March. 

(I would not DIY)4)  Other than extra natural lighting, any other major benefits to a skylight?

My natural inclination has been to get into the remolding side of things because I am someone that enjoys working with my hands and my most of my current experience is in HVACR working on pharmaceutical freezers and the like.

@Nick WestonIf you can get a deal for 20% below market or 10% below market, a 10%/20% market correction won't kill your investment.Interest rates are low and in my opinion still a great time to buy.With that said, don't just blindly buy any deal.If you are certain of a recession hitting soon, you can decide to use this time to research deals, connect with an agent, zone in on an area you want to invest in and build up your capital.A house-hack is another alternative.
