I did price one out just before Christmas that had far more reasonable terms than I've seen in a while. 

I meant not to live on but solely to withdraw, pay the tax and invest in RE.I am trying to decide if I should draw out everything from tax deferred retirement account, pay the tax and invest in RE (move into Roth as another option)before I hit RMD point.Hoping to hear from those who have walked the walk and share actual experience of their success/roadblocks. 

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

If you are in 1 unit and renting by the room with 7 days or less, this is tricky for several reasons.

ACTUALLY (insert mansplaining guy here) Plenty of title companies provide pre-foreclosure data but you are gonna have to call a ton of companies and learn how to ask.

He also wanted to cash out on several of his investments and fully "retire", hence reason for selling.

Looks like they're trying to revive the old Prop 10 legislation from previous ballots and renamed it the "Justice for Renters Act" -->"Justice for Renters Act" Just another reason why I'm glad I'm not investing in CA.Happy to share my experiences.

In fact even with all the hassle, this has been my most profitable property because the cash flow is the highest and with all the late fees added in I actually had a decent year.

Pulling what appears to be 2% or less of your equity to do the fix seems reasonable. 

I'm not totally following your reasons not to, so sorry if I'm misunderstanding your question.
