I am looking at purchasing a 18 unit building and Pulling collateral from another property to pay the down payment. Well my lender just messaged me and said with everything going on in the world I would need 35% down ...

In my experience I like to advise that clients be prepared to invest at least 25% of the purchase price into rehab to safely force enough appreciation to then pull all cash out. 

Now, your FHA lender should know this..and should be able to advise you on this...have you spoken with them about this by chance?

@Jingru Sui“Additionally, while remote online notarizations (RON) are currently not permitted in California, you can safely advise signers to use an out of state RON service if they need it.

Feel free to PM me anytime and I can advise you on best bidding practices. 

First I am not an attorney so please don't take any of my information as legal advise.  

Why do people think rent is the one thing that suddenly has no monetary value and should be free?

I always advise newbies to sit down a lender right away, in order to develop realistic goals.

I would not advise this for anyone who’s new to the multi family or commercial real estate.

Can someone advise on the options that I have or connect me with investors in the same boat.
