How many loan products have you looked at for this?

ON my personal stuff my average exit price is about 650k for the product we own build and sell !! 

This looks as though the people selling the house care more than just making a quick buck, and would like to turn out a decent product as well.

With a HELOC, you'll likely be quoted "higher" interest rates, but due to the nature of lines of credit vs. loans, you can overcome the interest rate scam and put money in your own pocket.The way I illustrate this is: if you put extra money toward a mortgage, but the next month you need that money back for a great investment, will the bank disperse those funds?

Naturally, they'll be at odds.Most appraisers are fine at their job.

If anyone needs any basic advice on electrical, tiling, drywall, moulding and work of that nature I would be happy to help as my abilities allow. 

So this is where you'll find a lot of those land loans, construction loans, HELOC products, MFH on rented lots, ITIN loans, etc.
