@Tonia EdgestonIf it’s non owner occupied you could get a hard money loan to pay back taxes and repairs but these are short term (typically 6-12 months) then you would need to refinance the propertyYou mention this is also in probate - depending also on other debts etc it all may be for not and you may need to sell to pay off other creditors.

This typically provides more comprehensive coverage for rental properties.Entity structure:Creating an LLC to hold the property can offer liability protection and potential tax benefits.

I’m just not sure if my first REI should tie up my money in a long term asset (appreciation) vs investing in a quicker ROI (fix&flip, BRRRR, wholesale, or simply cashflow)The typical down payment in Denver metro for single family is around 80k (which I don’t have in liquidity).  

We offer 90 days seasoning and typically close on average 21-30 days.Happy to help!

There have been several examples of $1M+ listings that are still receiving multiple offers, and many for all cash. 

Some hard money lenders may offer better leverage but the interest rate and origination fees will be higher.  

Market is the best remedy for those, since no intelligent buyer/investor will touch what they offer.- Sellers who are lied to and taken advantage ofHow exactly are they lied to and taken advantage of?

I'd also like to ask if the rate difference between 30 fix and 5/6 Arm is now typically less than 1%.

Commercial lenders don't usually offer 'pre approvals' but will provide sellers with a letter of intent.
