Since there is a lack of regulation, many lenders may change the final settlement statement once all is said and done, which can result in a higher rate, more fees, and/or a reduced LTV.

Any recommendations or experience on good online banks with high APY for this purpose? 

Although we had to fund the $45,000 purchase, our approach ensured the property was sold quickly, reducing the time our capital was tied up.

I am a 25 year Real Estate agent in SoCal (mostly residential however venturing more into commercial; and getting back into investing in other states as well, which will be my next post) I have tried quite a few lead services and while some may do better in other areas of the country , most seem to a flop in this area, of those tried HouseJet, Reaology, USHud and Realty Bargains( Realty Bargains was the best however they kept sending me mostly investors who's matrix would not pencil in the areas I serve)  I am doing my best to figure out social marketing, my views/impressions are good however that has not turned into transactions as of yet; So I am on the hunt for a 3rd party lead co with quality Seller leads.

You can mitigate by splitting sales over two years (which is what I did, end of 2021 and beginning of 2022, both great times to sell btw ;) Then I paid off all my debt on my keeper properties, thus maximizing rental income with fewer and better quality properties remaining in my portfolio.

The high speed train is actually finally getting built.

We have a lake house that rents for the same rate as a hotel in the area, therefore our occupancy is super high. 

At $200, unless its almost new or a high end stove, you may want to consider a new one instead.

In terms of taxes, this is what I got from my CPA< but i dont think its still right, seems VERY high.

Hey Mitchell, Doing a fix and flip in today's market with high-interest rates can be challenging, but it isn't necessarily a bad idea.
