We bought a nearby property and moved out.We're now trying to sell the property, but with close to $100k in non-house improvements (well, electric service, house pad, barn/workshop, fencing, etc.) it's a tough deal for a traditional lender to process.

Good luck...Hi @Lee Lockhart, I did not have a traditional contract in place, I did have an invoice from the contractor and he emailed me a target date to get his work done.

If anyone can tell me some areas I should look into or non traditional alternatives to the average real estate agent I'd appreciate it.

I'm currently in an FHA loan, so I would refi to a conventional loan and then come September save an additional 3.5% on an FHA loan for my primary residence to be closer to work.

I quit my traditional job about 15 months ago and work now as a real estate investor full time.

My primary goal of having a license is to use it to my own advantage as an investor, rather than making a living as an actual RE agent helping to buy/sell homes.

You could find a personal loan or hard money lender to fund your next adventure, but the terms are going to look much worse than traditional conventional financing.

The way I understand the new tax law is that HELOC interest is only deductible when used to build on to, or make repairs to one's primary or secondary residence.

That being said I also own 3 rentals but have never owned a primary.

When we move out of our primary residence in 53222 we will probably be able to rent it for $1300-1500/mo.
