You're locking in the rate for a longer period of 3-6 months on each CD. 

You want to either read your closing disclosures because it will state if you "Can" or "Cannot" switch the title vesting to an LLC.If you want to transition your primary into an investment property I would recommend using a Portfolio or DSCR program by doing a simple refinance either cash out or simple rate and term for intended use.

If you take a high rate, interest only bridge loan, you need to have a solid exit or you will pay tons in interest.  

Hi @Denise MacDonaldUse this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onhttps://www.areavibes.com/Here is my rating & classification for each livability score. 80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below F

It depends on what the partnership agreement says --- especially on the question of how much control each partner has. 

Is 10% a fair rate for a personal loan and would you charge any points?

Investing with foreknowledge that property values are falling seems like a timing problem or at least a situation where my offer would be reduced to reflect this coming change.As to how much to put in as a down payment that depends more on your numbers, your risk tolerance, ability to get financing, cost of financing, etc. 

Is it feasible to obtain a loan or a good old boy agreement where a lender offers 100% financing for both the purchase price and construction costs at hard money rates, secured by a second position on the borrower's other properties?

I had hard money for the purchase and got a personal loan for the rehab (half the interest rate).

Cash Plan to refinance when rates are more favorable How did you add value to the deal?
