Hi Grazie,I have an amazing CPA that could offer you some great advice if you're still looking for guidance

I'm going to offer up a few words of caution, as well as the way I like to approach flips.... but to answer your up front question on financing, the typical heloc is going in the 9% range.  

Make sure to utilize the great tools BP has to offer.

And for what she was offering, there was NO MEAT ON THE BONE.

Some common names you'll see thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each of those apps online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.

The seller was asking $105K so I offered $110K to get $5,000 towards closing costs.How did you finance this deal?

Unless you have deep experience selling your own properties, there are many details and legalities that can cause you tens of thousands of dollars if not done correctly or if they are overlooked.

If its in the city where off street parking is a huge perk and it has a legal curb cut then I would keep the garage in most cases. 

From my understanding it can be... legally anyways...

Can I legally ask her how much of her maternity leave will she be paid by her employer?
