Alternatively, does anyone know of a loan originator who can help me create my own friendly line of credit from one of my LLCs and record the liens?

For example, electrical is original from 1960, there is no central AC - heating it through baseboard heaters

Original list price: $420k Original offer accepted at $350k Closed at $290k after negotiations Rehab: $20k What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

If you want to try the card you originally got declined for, call them on the phone.

@Nate Shields - I heard the same origin story regarding the Featured Agent program from the sales folks that disappeared. 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to minimize that tax liability and still continue with my original intent, or is my only option a 1031 (I'm aware of DST but don't see that as a great option).  

If anything, a concerned owner would want to have a clear understanding of a PMC's screening criteria and fully understand the process - which we originally posted.

But, he never asked me what paint or color to use before doing the original work.

I have some out of state Airbnb's and having people you know, like, and trust there is huge so that is great that you are originally from Ohio so hopefully you can find some good connections there.
