There's currently a tenant in the house (who I presume caused the smoke damage), but the seller promises that this tenant will be gone before closing.

The other hurdle many run into is that you need to have funds to close and cover reserves in a US based bank account.  

The lender rep or broker you are working with should be able to walk you through each step so you have a firm understanding of what has to happen in order to get your file to closing.

Using simple numbers, assume I want to purchase a $100,000 property using crypto as collateral:- I pay the closing costs with cash- I put down 10% down payment with cash ($10,000) - I utilize a crypto mortgage for the remaining 90% ($90,000) This way, I still keep my crypto and I have a property, both of which may accrue in value over the long-term.

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn. 

I just had a client close his first refinance loan and he only paid $1645 in UW fee.

Figure and NYFTY are easy automated HELOC programs with super quick closings (I did one for a client that funded in like 72 hours from loan app). 

The land is on two tax lots so my plan is to sell the extra lot immediately after closing for a projected $275K.The property on the other lot will be a fix and flip with projected costs of $240K and an ARV of $750K.I plan to use a PML of 2 points and 12% APY for 70% of the total cost.
