Karen Higgins Cost segregation questions - help needed!

Brandon Belton First Rehab Deal (Hard Money)

But they will need to see bank statements and even credit score info before moving forward, you will have to submit for draws during the rehab, and they will hold some of the $$ back until the rehab is complete to their satisfaction.Bottom line is as an investor (from your perspective, not the lender's), you should always have the cash saved and available to fund either type of deal without having to take a loan from another source.

Kristen Ray Buy and Hold Appraisal
25 March 2018 | 7 replies
If you are buying residential properties, it would be foolish not to get an appraisal on the house you areIn my view, it is important so that you get an idea of what you are paying.Do you want to buy a house for 200k that is only worth 100k even if it is cashflowing.Maybe yes, in which case, you just have to know that you won't be able to sell it down the line if you decide.In other words, do you want to be in negative equity at the point of purchase of a house?

Here are two quick and dirty ways: for the lowest interest rate get a HELOC on your home.Since it's a 5 unit you're facing commercial rates and are playing in the big leagues of financing which means you need a seasoned entity combined with personal guarantee for the lowest possible interest rate.You can buy a seasoned entity online (make sure it's in the same state) that has a 80 or higher credit score, move the entity to the property address, change all the credit lines to the new address, transfer the property into it, and get your credit score to 720+.Apply for a commercial loan if you don't want to go the HELOC route.
