They both appear before the Board of Equalization frequently.

the only concern i hear frequently mentioned is 100% knowing your able to refinance. try running a few deals past your portfolio lenders (assuming you found them already) and ask if thats a property they would refinance and how long because there may be a "seasoning" period that hard money lenders might not want to wait for. it could be devistating if your stuck with a hard money loan and cant refinance your property.i personally put 1000 down on a house in minnesota, because first time home buyers assistance covered the additional 7000 on 190k property. i am living in the lower 2bd 1 ba unit and renting out the upper 4bd 2 ba. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are rented out totaling $1350 (including resident managers discount) in rents and i believe i can rent out the 4th bedroom for 350. the piti is $1400 so essentially my exspenses are covered while i save money and put it back into the remodel of the unit i currently occupy. my plan is to refinance in 2-5 years after i fix up both units and then use cash as down payments for more properties.
