Interesting the Negatives and Positives...Seem such a thin line, I assume it depends on how you take it or how you manage everything.

Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio.

@Mendy Melamed depends on property Class you target and if you're paying cash or financing.Our Metro Detroit market offers many Class B and C opportunities that will positively cashflow, even if you buy putting 20% down and finance the rest.Please PM us for more details!

Prior to the recent rate hikes 0.75% ration produced positive cash flow for virtually every property with conservative underwriting. 

The equity potential of course, but mainly I was trying to solve two issues - on one end, the seller was struggling financially and needed to sell her home but investors were aggressively trying to take advantage.

I'm willing to put in the "sweaty equity" and am very eager, but are partnerships in these situations possible beyond my own network?

Having just found out when credit is pulled and the appraisal is done in the loan process, I now think we may not be in an ideal position, and potentially not in a position at all, to take out a 30 Year Loan in the coming weeks.I believe adjusting course, at least temporarily, may be the only way to continue moving forward.

Personally, I lean toward selling and using the equity you pull out to buy a rental property or something like that.

Your basically cross-collateralizing the purchase of the land with your home, and then using the "free and clear" land as your equity down for the construction loan.
