I would, personally, let him exhaust all his funds on the purchase and then you come up with a loan that finishes off the acquisition financing and then holds the rehab funds in escrow in an account you and your brother sign off on for withdraws.I do not think I'd put a lean on the property. 

We are 4 younger guys recently out of college looking at forming an LLC to purchase our first investment property.

Is this a purchase or refinance ? 

I'm a Navy Veteran and would like to use my VA loan to make my first home purchase sometime next year.

in hopefully launch into a real estate sector I would like to pursue, learn more about and purchase, etc. 

I'm looking to purchase a single-family home in the $500k-$600k range with a long-term hold strategy.

Hi Brian, It's great to hear that you're exploring your options for purchasing another owner-occupied property in the East Boston/Chelsea area!

Recently purchased a 4000 square foot commercial office building in Canton OhioLooking for an inexpensive insurance solution. 

Ironically, the offers we had from private entities to purchase the property were approximately $200k less than the final price.Why was this the case?

I've purchased a couple properties this way.
