@Tim HockerMany people use HELOCs to fund their real estate.

If you find a property you want to buy, you will need a strong pre-approval from a lender or proof-of-funds. 

Why is education is so expensive yet....it doesn’t get much funding?

"All you need to do is invest a recognized gain in a Qualified Opportunity Fund and elect to defer the tax on that gain."

If the auctIon requires funds in cash, you’d have to have the funds there with you, which seems expensive if you dont end up acquiring the property...Does this prevent hard money lenders for lending on properties to be bought at auction?

Funding option on a buy and hold?

Hi All,My name is Kristen Graham and I currently reside in Dallas, Tx working as a private equity fund accountant.

Funded my LLC and bought the properties.Am thing thinking on drawing down on my available HELOC the same amount as my down payment.What would be the tax treatment on interest paid on HELOC? 

To qualify, you are going to need a sponsor/loan guarantor who meets these requirements to sign on the loan.Your best bet is secure a 20% to 25% down commercial loan, raise money to fund the down payment, and find someone to sign on the loan.

Does anyone know of a fund/hard money lender that will do a refinance on a high end residence being used as a rental?
