If you have free time as mentioned, there are plenty of additional ways to come up with $25k.  

a few comments:-i think property management in indy is typically 10%, but if you already have it lined up at 8%, then great-most people i talk to put vacancy at 10% as well-are you putting any additional money intoimprovements?

Just make sure with your broker you know whether the umbrella is in addition to the underlying limit or its limit is less the underlying limit.  

My credit is great and I have additional w2 income as well.

If the appraiser used different comps have your realtor submit any additional comps and include a list of repairs/upgrades that you made to the property.Good luck!

good concept Bryan, flipping vs buy and hold are keys to how wealth can be generated by using two different methods of investing aka envesting as i like to say, i'm a newbie in this industry my plan is to buy and hold rentals and later refinance the property and reap the benefits of the cash flow to purchase rehab and flip discounted properties that i find along the way, my strategy may be different than most but most of my educational coaching suggested looking at every deal as if it were flip and or rehab, i agree with Bryan, if i can get the cash flow and equity that buy and hold offers then that is the strategy that works best for me, but if i run across a flip/rehab that is worth my while then i execute accordingly but leverage is a important aspect of the buy and hold strategy will be implementing in my world.......good luck on your investing journey

Then on top of that they charge a 7% Commission (that would equate to additional $26,250).

Additionally, since I was going in all-cash, I could offer seller financing to a potential buyer if HOA assessment delinquencies presented a problem with bank financing.

I would just get the basics: sofa, coffee table, a set of pots and pans, dishes from a local discount store.  

I'd like to collect rent on the 1st and then pay the mortgage on the 7th to prevent the lag of pulling money out of my property account just to put it back in within a day or two, but I want to make sure that my interest won't go up in the 6 additional days if I pay it on the 7th.Can someone let me know if that makes sense or if I'm misunderstanding how mortgage interest is calculated?
