If you don't want a 1st mortgage HELOC, then Pen Fed Credit union will go to 80% max CLTV but you can not own any more than 4 properties? 

The Fed has communicated the intention to continue rate hikes.  

-What kind of terrain: Flat, hilly rocky, clay, sand, H2O, Silt, Grass, Dessert, Mountain, Disiduous, Trees, Dry Lakebed… -We go look.com is a great site to have someone physics go to the property and take pictures and notes if you are unable to.

Your best defense is a great offense, get involved, participate in a committee, ask questions in a respectful and meaningful manner, see to it that they ARE acting in everyone's best interest and following the governing Docs and all Fed, State, and Local laws.

@Loren Thomashere is an interesting scenario.We found a 240v feed to a wall heater with blower, (fed through a double pole thermostat), that also feeds a 240v window a/c that is wired behind the heater inside the wall.

I'll also see any town liens (grass and sewer), assignments of mortgages or modifications.

The fed is indicating they will raise interest rates twice next year, causing loan interest rates to go up causing less sales in housing.  

No parking on the grass either.

A BRRR that may have refied at 3 or 4%, with the Fed quarter point move up, is now talking 6% or Hard Money to get back into the fray?

If landscaping is just cutting the grass, that will be cheaper than putting in a water feature, cutting down 30 trees and building a retaining wall.And contractor labor costs will vary as well -- you might pay $2/sf for carpet installation from a local installer, or if you hired me, I'd probably charge closer to $100/sf for the same job, plus travel costs.Long story short, price per square foot is meaningless.
