Looking at a portfolio purchase.  180k purchase price, 20k down, balloon after 5 years. 

I've dabbled in the new construction space here in Chicago and there is A LOT that goes into it...I'd highly suggest spending some 1:1 time networking with some other investors like @Jennie Berger or @Prashanth Mahakali who are both Chicago developersYou make your money with the land purchase and then systems/processes/volume over time in the development game, but it's not easy and competition is high!

Borrowers that purchased during the last 24 months, particularly with alternative mortgages such as DSCR loans at elevated rates could see worthwhile refinancing scenarios in the very near term just as any early payoff penalties are expiring. 

We purchased this house at $550k.

I would like to purchase short term rentals and be able to qualify as a real estate professional and deduct against by active income taxes.

It is paid off and we just purchased a new primary residence for ourselves. 

For starters, a purchase at the original contract purchase price could have resulted in a big fat loss.

Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $50,000 My partner and I are getting into our first fix and flip!

Hey there,I'm almost ready to purchase a house hack and have found some good deals right off the MLS.

However, if you pay all cash, some lenders will allow you to do a cash out refinance based off of the purchase price immediately after closing with no seasoning requirements.
