I ran out of cash and now need to finish up.Options:1) I have heard about interest only payments and refinancing at the end, but I don't know how to find these.2) I also heard about a program called Homestay  that provides the renovation money and then refinances all in one. the interest rate is a bit higher than a regular refinance since there is a loan involved. but is doable.3) is there an option 3??

I would like to Landlord and PM the property so am looking to buy somewhere within a 90 minute drive from the city.I want to spend $300k - $350k for my first investment so was considering Pierce County, Federal Way or Everett areas and even Bremerton (although don't love the issues involved investing in military towns).

As a broker, establishing valuation to take a property to market involves understanding the fundamental metrics that are involved.

There's a cost-benefit analysis involved as you'd be potentially subjecting a good portion of the PM fees to FICA.

The banks and everyone else involved ie, Auction.com, are getting a huge cut from the beginning.

issues involving how to make repairs?

If that is the case, do title companies and other parties involved who ensure the transaction goes through care about the terms at all?

It took significantly longer than hoped but doing it only on nights and weekends with full-time job that involves travel made it difficult.

I think even the laziest Investor would at least send someone to drive by the property to see the if meth is involved in this endeavor, but believe it or not there are a few sources that will keep records of properties where a drug lab ever existed.

So you could go with a traditional turnkey company or a hybrid turnkey company which involves an agent selling you properties from the MLS / Zillow / Their listings along with a property management arm in house to take things over post closing.
