Appraisal came back low, but we were able to fix with the listing agent.

I am now back to living in Texas and looking to start making deals again!

You pay the down payment assistance loan back when you sell or refinance your home.

I've had someone reach out to me with one number, but when I call back I never get a response, so I dug up two alternate numbers.

Then called back my LO at the CU to refi the heloc since the value had gone up.

NOTE: the largest builder in our state put them under contract for $100K per, then backed out saying there would be too much sitework and tried to get them for $75K each - they sold for average of $122K.7. 150% ROI in 18 months - no sweat...hahUnicorn, but certainly worth the work/trouble.It's just too expensive to build in most cases these days...this is one of my strong conclusions.Thanks for your earlier feedback!

Used to code for a living way back when, but now I've been swinging a hammer in construction for almost a decade.

Given that its operating well as a STR, would it make sense to do a cash-out refi to get some of that cash back?

It's a newer program, just announced back in December. 

Would a turn key residence be better for my first house hack compared to a simple renovation backed by a FHA 203K loan?
