Hey Drew based on what you said about the inspection I would do an inspection contingency that would allow you to get the seller to cover some of the expenses through closing cost credits.

Most local banks and credit unions will have free accounts.You need two accounts: checking and savings. 

Our bank will let us use equity that exceeds 25% across multiple properties that are either owned free and clear or where they hold the first so long as the deal still cash flows with however much cash is brought to the table.

Hi Zhenyang It sounds like you are looking to determine which kind of loan will allow you to afford a higher price point based on a $1.5 Mil down payment? 

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or would like to discuss!

I am based in Houston and currently embarking on my journey into the world of real estate wholesaling.

Based on my experience with custom home builds, and the photo they attached with my update, the house *should* be dried in within a few weeks.

The list are getting the information, and whether I can get it for free.

You are free to do whatever you want after.
