There's a lot more I'd love to say about all this so I'll leave it for questions/topics, whether it be the mortgage product (30 year fixed), ownership type (individual), analysis process, decision making, "why this and not that", I'd love to discuss it all.

Another great product to look at besides the 203K loan would be the FannieMae HomeStyle Renovation program.

I too am a CA product, but out of town investor.

There are a couple others building some quality condo products as well, but these three have the longest history in the area.

Is there such a product available from any buy and hold private money lenders?

Here in NJ they are either competitive or just about equal on most products that I've investigated, so I would just prefer to bundle everything with them.

Again, a far inferior product to the modern building material such as vinyl windows, but nonetheless, a requirement for the historical district.

I posted about this product in another post as well but i would suggest "Marcell Pro".

Keep in mind, if you're asking a premium price, then people expect premium product.

Michael Bowser If you are willing to put in the time and effort to do it yourself, Turbo Tax is a solid product for 1 or 2 rentals.
