Has anyone else had this happen and was the AMC willing to offer an alternative solution as opposed to the transaction being held hostage?

I just wanted to know if there are any LVT alternatives for splash tiles and countertop?

Alternatively, you borrow the maximum so that your cash flow on the first property is 0 if that gives you enough money to buy the second property.

As an alternative, funding companies will lend you money without regard to your income.

Any advice on a septic/alternative septic install on a small <1000 sq ft home for 2 people, as well as re-tophousing a tin-roof?

If you have a full-time job with a good salary, you may have a 401K that you can take a loan against.The alternative is the HELOC on your personal residence.I don't think you can really go wrong on the two HELOC options.The difference in rate is less than $100 / year per $10,000 borrowed.If you go with the 5 year HELOC, you may be able to do another HELOC in 5 years where hopefully you have more access if your home appreciates more.

It's more attractive to sell for the same reasons why it's more attractive to buy that way. 

I am in Florida and just to compare notes Florida property taxes versus New York taxes are night and day and can impeded on your ROI.Not to mention depending on the area Florida has a fantastic STR/AIRBNB cash flow attraction right now. 

Interest only mortgages look attractive, they can boost your cash flow way up for your rental.

I am reluctant to use these mega tech sharing companies if I can find an alternative.
