I have around 300k in a company stock account that does well with dividends, so don't really want to sell of shares.Would taking a personal loan or doing a margin loan make sense?

A couple of facts: a) Not planning to sell it anytime before 5 or 10 yearsb) Planning to refinance it next year or so, after the renovations are overc) Planning to use the unit with backyard as short term rental- General contractor gave me a very high number.

But if anyone has had this happen, please let me know how you handled:- Am selling a property that I bought in 2009.

The house is paid off free and clear, but we have no intention of selling it; we want to keep it in the family and turn the lot into a vacation home, Airbnb, or even a rental.

How and when might you want to step back or sell?

For several reasons, if they work today with current financing terms, they will work for years (as long as you don't panic sell!) 

That doesn't mean they will sell though.

Think about if you want to keep the property for a long time, sell it after renovations, or put it to other uses.Note that careful planning, thoroughness, and flexibility are necessary for profitable real estate investing.

Our team has been signing more higher-end ($150k-$225k) manufactured/mobile homes to sell in the Phoenix area.

First I thought I could buy a NPN, convince the owner to sell and I would approve a short sale, thus everyone wins.
