I have had luck in the past with my realtor pulling the listing for a week or two, freshing up the listing and relisting at the same rate and getting it rented quickly.  2.5 weeks doesn't seem un-reasonable to me. 

I can break everything down from NOI, standard operating expenses, and cap rate to assisting with an exit strategy. 

A fully paid off property which now should be worth at least $300K with appreciation, I can access 75% of that with a cash out refi so roughly $225K - refi costs.To me, its a no brainer to do bi-weekly IF you plan to keep the house for that long AND you do not plan to refinance (rate or cash out).

Quality work and fair rates.

We think it’s important as it allows us to check for Non-Sufficient Funds (NSF) issues and to determine if an applicant is living paycheck-to-paycheck.

You will save a lot more in expenses getting a traditional hard money loan and using your own funds for the downpayment and closing costs.

But this model would help in getting together the necessary funds (especially for a down payment and minimizing the potential interest on a loan), while bringing in legal complexity.

The SBA assistance is in the form of a low interest rate loan.

We understand the rates might be somewhat higher for being a second position, that is ok with us.Most lenders will just go through the motion of trying to refinance the entire position, even if they tell you otherwise at first.
