People would often debate whether it was worth it to take depreciation, “Since you have to pay it back anyway…”.

We are/were hoping to put a $60-70k down payment on a higher-end 'A' new build property with Rent to Retirement as I really like their business model/community, rather than a smaller down payment on a refurbished property in a 'C' area.

I will counter them back and tell them I accept "US"  currency or they are free to sell their cryptocurrency and then use that money as a down-payment.Thanks again!

I’ll tell you.At the individual level, again, having one loan you are paying makes it harder not to just apply for another loan but to pay that loan back.

These loans are structured with a combination of a first mortgage from a conventional lender (typically covering 50% of the project costs), a second mortgage from a Certified Development Company (CDC) backed by the SBA (covering 40% of the costs), and a down payment from the borrower (typically 10%).Bridge Loans: Bridge loans are short-term financing solutions used to "bridge" the gap between the purchase of a new property and the sale of an existing property or the availability of permanent financing.

I think that while what you want to spend all-in on this project is somewhat possible, you will end up with a very management heavy property at the end and shouldn’t expect the best tenant pool.

I usually call the premier partner hotline and they take care of any issues I am having right on the phone.I would call back and ask for a supervisor.

We have been overseas for 10 years and moving back in August (yay!)

I'd never touch that I'd just help along and find a builder who builds for investors and skip the self performance of things you'll get in the way for any experienced builder. just you saying that to me as a builder I wouldn't even call you back 

Honestly, I still feel broke, My previous job 4-5 years back was 200kplus/yr (Subsea Engineer Offshore).
