I have a few seller finance deals that I am currently rehabing and was wondering if anyone had any creative ideas of pulling the renovation money out while still keeping the seller financing loan since they are 0-3% in place. 

Also, I won't profit right now from rental income - only my IRA will profit (yes I know it's me later in life), but I want more capital now so I can pay down my private student loan faster and repeat the process with other properties.The place is 1 mile from the beach, 2 minutes to the bus stop, 1 mile to the train, and less than 1/2 mile to a new mixed use development that will open this spring (just the 1st phase) and it's a 20 - 30 yr mixed use project. 

Would a hard money loan be better without 2 years income or another way?

Should I secure a PML first before I try to get a property or should I go ahead and find a property and get it under contract then see if my PML prospects will lend?

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

- Moving beyond 4-plex turns into commercial mortgage loans, which I think will reduce the pool of potential buyers.- If we play to hold, I'm not sure if the rental income will make this a worthy enough investment, but I could be wrong.What do you think of this situation here?

The secondary major real estate portals typically fall into the few minutes to a day or two to update - they're normally faster to pick up a new listing but can be slower to get updates to an existing listing.So - flat fee listings are typically limited service listings where the broker is just your onramp to get your listing into MLS and doesn't provide much beyond the required minimum after that - everything else is an upcharge/upsell - the one big ticket item I think every listing should have is a Supra lockbox just for security.

Seems to be a security measure that sometimes false-flags attachments from what I've read on the net. 

Regular conventional loan.

You're off to an amazing start, the hardest part is securing that first deal and it seems you are on your way congrats!
