You will need to have the net worth and the liquidity to show if they will approve you for the loan.

My problem is :• that the loan amount would be to small making this a high priced loan(no traditional lender wants to touch it)• creative is out as they want to cash out as quickly as possible• I don't have the liquid capital to purchase outrightAny suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I think using hard money to purchase the place, then my liquid cash to rehab, then cash out refi might be the best approach, but i'm curious to hear what the seasoned vets think would be the best approach.  

Earning a little north of 2%.Liquid savings.

Based on my limited research and talking with a few brokers, commercial loans would require at least 25% but more likely 30-35% down, with liquidity and net worth requirements.

There is a massive tech bubble waiting for to pop, and when this will happen dozens of thousands will be laid off, many start ups will be liquidated and the Bay Area RE market will be affected without any doubt

One additional question are you utilizing riders / addendums to cover additional items not included in the SLAR contract (I.e: contingencies,  limiting  liquidated damages to the earnest money, any other items you want included in the contract covering both buyer & seller?)  

Exactly why when I liquidated my rentals I did not put them ont he market until tenant left.. and why most landlords when they go to sell have to go through this drama.. it sucks. 

If you are not careful, it would be easy to get yourself into something that adjusts up at a time when you are barely skating by, causing an issue for cash flow and liquidity.

I'm going to post this as a timeline to make it easier to follow.3 months prior to getting my first deal I listened to BP podcasts everyday, watched Youtube videos of investors, and liquidated all the funds that I could. 04/2017- After researching and learning about REI, I finally got my first SFR at the auction for $89,000.
