First, never send a lender money unless it's to be paid for appraisal or admin charges and if you looking for a good lender I could refer you to our hedge fund which offers you a hard money loan with no experience and only must be a homeowner.

Hi Julie,A lot of lenders don't like to do HELOCs on investment properties but I would click on the lenders list that BP offers and see if you can find one there that may do this.

have you contacted the local banks and credit unions in the area for options  ?  

Currently buying a property in Cleveland and need to explore financing options.

By managing properties in these diverse regions, we beleive we have a unique perspective that allows us to better adapt to each market's unique characteristics and offer the best services to our clients! 

Last, offer to buy the permit only if they are charging a fee for work without a permit, but that will require a licensed plumber and electrician to inspect which will be another fee on top of the permit.

A buyout of 65k was offered by the current tenant to terminate immediately.

Many lenders offer flexible financing terms up to 85% in some instances for investment property transactions. 

Because they are new to the business, they assume it is a commodity based business and they win business by being the cheapest option.

We are just getting started and are going to offer property management as well but want to focus on getting another lease to have a higher stream of income to put back into the business.
