If your financing the house, it will get appraised so the lender will not lend more than the appraised value anyway.

I can't picture in my head how a house from 1930 would have the type of architecture that would lend itself well to this effect - maybe you can post up a picture? 

The more non-institutional you go with a counter-party the less consistent the pricing will be.  

Hi Paul, Multifamily 5+ units require commercial lending.

As in all Ohio counties selling tax certificates, the bulk sale or auction of tax certificates in Hamilton County is not designed for individual investors.All Liens are sold off as a single block (for millions to big institutional investors).

Your marketing should lend itself to that experience. 

Hi-Hopefully I'm stating this correctly:HELOC -> has closing costs and is the equity being pulled out of the house up to a % of what the lender will lend on the property (ie 60% or 75% LTV).

Listening to Podcast 006...Arthur Garcia said this:"Partnering with someone to lend your credit score for percentage of the upside" as a way of getting loans...Can someone put this into laymans terms? 

I'm in Washington state and wanting to setup an LLC with myself and my dad on it.I've talked to two banks here I've dealt with in the past and one said they can't lend in IL as they have no branches there.

Budd,I see two issues with this. 1) which HML will lend you money to buy at the county auction?
