I haven't been too good about seeking advice in the past and have made a lot of decisions based on my gut feel and info I get from BP, but on this one I am really conflicted.  So I could use some help.I have had a dup...

I haven't pulled the trigger as I have been able to self fund the projects I have going now.

I don't believe the va would allow that situation and adding name after closing might trigger a due on sale claim

you posted in the landlord advice forum btw. might get more advice in the deal analysis forum... why dont you check out the BP calculator, then post your numbers or screenshot from the results to help make it easier on folks having the right info to make a proper analysis. after all, you want to be able to create repeatable processes for you to analyze many deals to get an idea of which ones might meet your criteria and you can quickly pull the trigger...

I'm just about to pull the trigger and make an offer on a property here in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St.Paul) region of Minnesota, I'm just about done with my analysis of what will be needed to get the house up and on the market but I am a bit stumped at this one point, and that is it has a currently un-used water well in the basement (3" pipe with pump).The house had be switched over to the city water grid years ago, the well it self is registered with the state, and registered as 'Not In use'.

I know I can get a loan (50% or up to $50k) but ideally I would like to have access to the entire amount without triggering taxes and penalties.

I guess expecting you to pay rent, not trash the house and otherwise abide by the lease terms is "mean".To add insult to injury, although she finally left within hours of our encounter, she decided to text me another insult the next day.

Then pull the trigger.

Connect with some loan officers to get pre-approved so that you are ready to pull the trigger when necessary.3)  At this point, you probably want to start interviewing agents. 

I was going to pull the trigger on a couple in Spokane, but got cold feet.
