Howdy @Mike BarryCash, Hard Money/Private Money loans for the majority of deals.  

Pine elementary, as you probably know, is a private school and very well accredited.

Hey Account Closed, shoot me a PM with your info and I can connect you with my lender via an email introduction.

If you are getting financing from a bank or mortgage broker they will require you to get an Appraisal, but if you are funding it with private money it still may be a good idea to get an Appraisal done to give you a reality check of where the market really is.As investors, you need to have a benchmark to tell you when something is a good deal or not.

@Ryan Evans I'm calling up the attorney tomorrow after I write the email tonight see if I can have the home owners keep the apartment vacant upon closing.  

We could take this to a private conversation if you’d prefer, but I would love to chat about how you got started with your first properties.

Getting a 70% of the appraised value is not that bad, considering that I will put the two properties on refi, that will likely give a good deposit for a single family home or perhaps a duplex.Do you know any local bank in Ohio which I could go online and send an email?

Then I email them their Lease.

did you end up funding the deal through your LLC or did you find a private investor? 

I received my email stating that I should receive their contract within a week.
