@Chris SanchezHey Chris, there are two that I know of and regularly attend.

With a HELOC, you could simply take out the $200k right before the purchase, but with a cash out refi you'd had already withdrawn $300k meaning you paid origination fees on an extra $100k that wasn't needed and you have interest charges for an extra $100k over the two months while you were waiting.I personally prefer not using hard money lenders as I don't want to be stuck with high interest amounts if I could avoid them with a HELOC, but I know many other investors who use them regularly without problems. 

In my brokerage we are regularly discussing tips and strategies to get offers accepted and let others know what we are seeing in the marketplace. 

We fly up regularly so our young kids can see cousins& grandparents, and when we do, we end up typically renting a short term rental in costal Maine large enough to accommodate the whole family.

Our Ideal investment would be as follows (for context)Find an ideal investmentPartner A & B both review and agree on investmentPartner A or b or A and B apply for mortgage on investment (please advise on this)Partner A supplies down payment on investmentPartner B supplies all labor and materials to repair, rehab.

First step for me was electrical because I had old fuse boxes with some knob and tube wiring, which needed to be updated so I could add overhead lighting, dishwashers, GFCI/regular outlets, exhaust fans, ceiling fans, etc.

A regular car payment is not the same: if you have less than 10 payments we don't use it, or paying off it is excluded

Hello,I just closed on a multi family property and the old owners told me they would not supply any appliances.They let the tenants know that the existing oven, refrigerator and washer were able to be used by the tenant, but would not be serviced or replaced.Is this a common practice?

My basis for this is cheap money, overly compressed cap rates, ending or moratoriums, supply & logistics issues, etc.

Depreciation is just like a regular SFR rental.
