I have a friend with that much in real estate, but can’t get it liquid fast enough for me to risk 100k In my head ( correct me if I am wrong of course ) -Total equity - 4 mil -I bring 400k -Loan for 700k until purchase, then refi Into more favorable terms. - cash flow pays the (high, IMO) taxes and balance on loan; net worth jumps up 3 million, cash flow a fair amount on the 400k I have invested.

Most online services that act as middlemen on transactions that connect havers with wanters have flaws that generally favor the buyer unfortunately.

However, if your interest rate is higher on your current loan, and you could potentially drop the interest rate to give you a favorable payment, I may talk to the lender about proceeding with a refi. 

Do yourself a favor and pay a cpa-it’s worth it and I am a frugal investor. 

I'm trying to come up with a good way to present a solid offer to the seller for seller financing that would would be favorable so it would be a very sweet deal for him that he couldn't pass on. 

That tilts my opinion slightly in favor of a composite material.

It's a great way to pay them off faster and you can refinance a few times if the rates are in your favor. 

Political maneuvering/postering aside, I think city council is ultimately in favor of any affordable housing/homelessness solutions, so despite this initiative not making it on the ballot for this November, it's probably only a matter of time before Boulder raises the limit.

Make sure to get the lien favor signed before you make any payments and do not make the final payment until the job is 100% complete and punched out.Once you establish a good relationship with a solid GC you shouldn't even need to do deposits or even draws on smaller projects.  

I think COVID is a short term trend and will likely fall out of favor in a relatively short period of time.
