The properties are now at a higher value than I was buying them for, so when I went to the bank to get an 80% loan the property covered it I finance the property paid off the current owner who also was the current bank and I now own two more properties.After refi I even got some of my rehab cash back.

Can't currently get a concrete guy or a roofing guy up where I am.

The seller is asking 38k for his property and if he bought this property regularly, all cash $38,000, the 28,000 covers the cost of the lien and the seller would walk away with about $3000 after everything is prorated. 

Lender's will want policy coverage high enough to cover the loan balance.
