I've thought of inquiring with online lenders such as SoFi, Lending Home, etc.

Also, in my opinion, texting and calling everyday over stupid things is totally unacceptable.

Airbnb has responded to my request that they cannot intervene as this is an "offline arrangement" and they are an online company.

The aggregate UPB calculation does not include the mortgages and HELOCs that are on the subject property,the borrower’s principal residence,properties that are sold or pending sale, andaccounts that will be paid by closing (or omitted in DU on the online loan application).

Work must be done with licensed contractors and completed within 180 days after closing.The loan is based on purchase price plus rehab funds, which are drawn down as work progresses.They also include a reserve 10% minimum for potential budget overruns.3.5% down is based on the total amount borrowed.You also have to pay closing costs, which are substantially higher than a traditional FHA loan.

Do I need to tale to a professional that handles 1031 exchange before listing property for sale?

Total newbie here and just saving and soaking all the info I can in.

everywhere I look online it says 20% down for investment homes but we are being told by all lenders it's 25%.It's a duplex in Washington state. 

For the lurkers: Fannie Mae is totally cool with a revocable living trust, even at closing, for all property types - including residential investment properties.

Then, the crash came, he held on till 1990, sold it for $300K, and from what I heard lost $100K total with the negative cash flow.
