If you're going to use the money for a long-term investment I would go with a standard 30-year fixed mortgage.

The 1st mortgage was extended by 32 months.

We are not seeing a mortgage on this house. 

I know this is because I have been focused on the DTC/SF traditional mortgage options or funding with buying an existing structure, but I can't see a clear path to financing a 2-fam new construction that's owner occupied (allowed by right per zoning).

Again, PT is the one that voluntarily mentioned that he/she is getting the divorce and he/she also stated that he/she is the co-signer on the soon to be ex wifes/husbands mortgage (which has shown on prospective tenants credit report) but the soon to be ex is the one that currently  pays the mortgage AND WILL CONTINUE TO PAY MORTGAGE.

My advise is to go with 9.99% to go to the max.But what Jay should do, at this point would be to make sure he has given the proper notice (in Seattle).

If you want to become rich through real estate investing, stop paying off your mortgages early.

No doubt the Scottsdale market is very saturated with short term rentals, but it is obvious to me that the underperforming properties are homes that are not designed properly, not photographed properly, not optimized properly, and not priced properly.I'm also fully aware of the mountain of headaches and heartaches that will come with running a business like this.. but I'm here for the challenge.Shout out to BP because a big part of what motivated me to take this journey and where I got a lot of the education needed to do this is via a weekly mastermind that I'm a part of that I found through a post in this community a few years back.Anyways, not sure who cares or if anybody out there has any thoughts, questions, comments etc.

Typically, portfolio loans from a small local bank/CU or conventional mortgages will be your cheapest/best options for permanent financing for SFHs.

My parents are considering selling their home of 35 years which they only have 70k remaining on their mortgage.
