If you want to keep this alert as is, you can change it back in your notifications settings .I rely on these keyword alerts to not be late to the party so to speak :-) I usually have BP open all day on my browser, and do not necessarily click through to a conversation through an email, but I rely on the notification from the email to alert me in a timely fashion.That said....I would really prefer that instead of changing my settings on your own and leaving it up to me to figure out what is going on (took me a whole day) and then make it my responsibility to change them back, that you would ASK ME first if I would like my settings changed.

My plan is to use private money to get the work done in under 8 weeks, and then refi.My question comes in at the refi part- is there a creative manner to refinance so that I pay the lender back their 50K (plus interest) but still benefit from the 0% interest - or is the best bet to borrow enough monies to pay for the purchase and Reno?

When you couple it with their workflows and other third party systems like Zapier (which can connect you to a ton of other software services) and Globiflow you can pretty much create whatever you want.

Of course you are competing with a bunch of investors if you arrive at the party late. c) How quickly can you get to that property and do your analysis \site survey?

The more important part is your profession.  

Perhaps this is why you are saying cash out refinancing conservatively such that you can stay cash flow positive with a 20% reduction in rent, to give some cushion against this scenario?

Personally, if a property were truly cash flow neutral after ALL expenses were factored conservatively and I had significant value add opportunity that had some profit built into my purchase day 1, sure, I'd consider it. 

My background, for the most part, is in construction.

I've been living in Las Vegas for 22 years now and I have become burnt out (I guess to much partying can do that) so I'm planning to move to Texas or Atlanta this year.

So I've come across 3 properties for sale, (8 units total + 3 bay garage), seller is willing for seller financing, and all communications are going through a third party who has agreed with me when I told him I believe the seller has an unrealistic view of what his properties are worth.I was initially only interested in the first two properties because that are on the same lot and need to be sold together.
