I have been exploring alternative ways to finance such as piggy back loans or seller financing.

Alternatively you could split the down payment into 4 similar sized properties to stay within your niche at, on average, 216K  with a familiar 43K down payment a pop.This move would help you redistribute your equity to help you maintain a solidly leveraged position while ensuring a positive cash flow.Either way, great pick on the initial property!  

Hi everyone new in Seattle Just move from California my wife and i decided to move here in seattle we love the nature here we are background we are from the Philippine we speak Tagalog fluently and we're both in the medical field We're very interested in real estate we are now renting an apartment here at Kirkland WaOur goal is to learn about wholesaling and landlording We started reading books about real estate rich dad poor dadWere hoping this forum can help us.

As you would expect, the natural reaction to that was, "We're afraid to foreclose on anyone for any reason."

I used to be the featured speaker at a national workshop/school, where we presented PWF's as a great energy efficient alternative to concrete.  

I currently work and have worked construction for the past ten doing tile, perfect granite countertops and other masonry like brick, and natural stone. 

I am not experienced like many of the members here but just from what I have researched it sounds as if a better option would be to spend your time looking for funding using alternative or non-traditional options.  

Alternatively, I also have a retired friend who’s looking for a stable return of 5% on his retirement funds.

And, as you'll find out, by sticking that 100% hard money loan on a property, it establishes your lending floor and makes it much much easier to do your refi's since they'll be rate/term refi's.The alternative is putting down 20 to 25% and paying rehab out of pocket and then trying to find a bank that will do a cash out refi.  

I know water/sewer stay with the property, and therefore the owner, but not sure about natural gas.
