However, if this was a cash purchase, the buyer may have signed off on title insurance with items such as these excluded from the title insurance.

Very quick and simple read that boils down the importance of investing in cash flowing assets such as real estate.

You only really have a couple of options.HELOC/LOC with the property as security.Refinance the first and walk away with a bigger first.A great way to get into properties with little money down though is to buy distressed assets at a discount, force appreciate them, and refinance to pull the cash out.

But if your interest rates on the debt are high, you may want to use some of the money you've saved for the down payment, to pay the debt down.  

Selecting the right tenant is probably equally important than selecting the property to buy in the first place - in a way the house is not cash flowing, it's the tenant.
