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?

Could there be an issue of the shear lot size to where it couldn't be built on anymore or for a mobile to be placed on it dude to law changes?

LOL.. judge just signed my order.. house is 100% covered in vines and blackberries and there is just a tiny path to the front door.. she opens the cat food cans and just chucks them on the little space on the porch.. since she would not answer us I had the cops do a wellness check and they did get her to the door.. you have to hold your breath when you get within 10 feet it.Also I am told the brother took a car apart and put it back together in the basement so supposedly there is a full size car we will have to deal with.. but this is a demo and rebuild new construction...

At the end of the day I bet your tenants get evicted and your place gets trashed.

He taught me how to buy "no money down," he didn't teach me how to fund it.I went to this particular lender pitching a 12 unit apt building, and he looked at me intently, sizing me up and down.
