Afford the negative rent while waiting for appreciation or invest your own cash to dump the property.Buying your next home may not require cash out of your pocket but I would try for 5% down minimum to secure a good interest rate.But, have you looked into a second or third opinion about your house value?

So nothing out of your pocket.

Then my other partner just took a heloc on his place but he used it to pay bills.. haha so hard money would be the best if worse comes to worse then we could get a mortgage on the property. 90% LTV and put a couple grand down.. we are doing a seller consession so the closing cost are tied into the $20kno money out of pocket is the best way to go!!!

Plus, when we do spec houses, we do loans where they tack all the holding costs onto the construction loan - so we have no out of pocket expenses.

As property taxes increased and utilities increased I had to come up with some cash out of pocket each month.
