I am seeking any knowledge and guidance that can help me close my first deal.

If that is the case then choose the area you like most, but if you are wanting to get a quicker return then I believe the Lookout Mountain lot might be better with the Paradise Valley Mall upgrade being somewhat close to that area.

You may be able to close and then do the 2nd mortgage afterwards, however.

These guys used to be Staying Infinite. 

Typically when you sell the title company requires forms to state if you are foreign or not, your ID, and they want to send 15% or 10% or (20% for long term) to the IRS at closing.

And of course there's the standard closing costs of the loan, initial insurance payments, permits etc. 

However, what is the cost of staying out of the market?  

I think it's also worth mentioning that having a Plan B replacement property is also critical in mitigating the timeline risk.Even if the preferred replacement property is already under contract well before the 45-day window.There are many unforeseen circumstances that could result in a deal falling apart before closing, even if things appear to be smooth sailing from the start.

I cannot seem to find any deals in the region that make any sense- or are even close to making sense.

Hi Gabriel..I've been in and around loans since 2003..we work closely with our lending partner that actually can provide HELOC or fixed second loan using a variety of income including bank statements..I think you can go up to 80%-85% on a primary using bank statement on a second lien position.
