Quote from @Levi Perl: Hi,Curious if anyone has what to say in terms of how to calculate which one is more worth it: to cash out refi on a Long term rental now at 70% LTV, and walk away with X amount of positive cash AFTER paying all debt, (X is a positive number and significant amount for me), which will allow me to potential get another long term rental and grow portfolio faster, or wait 4 months and cash out 80% LTV, giving me DOUBLE than X. 

However, many investors get around this with a debt service loan.

Quote from @Sam Epperson: let's say I come to an agreement with the seller for them to finance some of the deal. let's also pretend the seller owns it with no debt, and we agree to 5% down, 5% rate, and 10 year balloon. how are we drafting this legal document?

But like he said, f something goes wrong with ANY of the properties you have debt on, you might be in a pickle.

(PS I'm sure you experienced folks have your contractors in line already but it never hurts to add another trusted one to the phone book, I'd love to send over our business cards and talk about how we could be of assistance to your team) Again thank you all for the help - Brennan

my SS deal is one of my participation deals were I provide the capital to the operator via a debt instrument then take a participation as part of the note agreement.

I cannot qualify for traditional conventional for multiple reasons but the over 200 to 1 debt to income ratio is a primary reason.
