I have been investing in residential RE since 2010 and have bought and sold RE within that time frame, but it's all in residential space.

CT is where I am located and for this state it's 5% EMD and the rest no sooner than 21 days but no later than 30 (that timeframe is when the closing process with the seller/borrower will take place)...But since my state has a judicial foreclosure process and every step must be court-approved I just wasn't sure if I have to put down 5% EMD before it gets approved or after(I want to note that the clock for the 21 to 30-day timeframe to close doesn't start until the court approves the sale) 

Most work like this: Rates: 9% to 13% (Most Deals are 11-12%)Terms: up to 36 Months (Most Deals are 6-12 months)Fees: 2-4 points(%) of loan amount paid at closing (Most Deals are 3 points(%))Minimum Loan Amount: $50,000 (For loans less than $250,000 $2,500 minimum fee)Max Loan: 65%-70% of After Repair Value(ARV)100% Rehab Financing Available (Require 20% of purchase price down payment or cross-collateral)Closing Timeframe: 48 Hours - 3 Weeks (Most Deals are 2 Weeks)NO PRIMARY RESIDENCES, NON-OWNER OCCUPIED ONLY, BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL USE ONLY.

Constructing an IRR timeline on both options using the timeframe you decide on will help you visualize the better yielding investment.

Hi Jennifer, additionally have a contingency plan in place if the property doesn't sell within your desired timeframe.

Inexpensive, intuitive, and has a lot of good features, including the late fee penalty.

That said, stock pools are inexpensive but I'm not sure they are anything more than visual candy for your listing - and perhaps more hassle and most adults won't look at that anything like a hot tub experience. 

At no point were they business partners sharing in expenses or profits. 

Bulk salt, oils, vinegars and tons more.TP, paper towels, small soaps and shampoos, coffee pods, tea, creamers, Splenda and sugar packets, disposable cups, inexpensive food containers to take food home, Ziplocs, aluminum foil, parchment paper, plastic wrap....on and on.I believe is providing a lot of stuff like that for guests.

No better way to get started in my opinion, especially in expensive markets where the benefits of owning over renting can be life-changing thanks to appreciation.
