I don't think I have an exact formula for this but its math I find myself crunching in my head a lot.

I was close, but not close enough to fund the down payment.

On another post, I am working on a property and a couple doors down, one of these types of companies is holding.

30 yr fixed Vacation/2nd home loan with 10% down.

Required distros for tax consequence.At the same time I kinda snicker a bit since the buyer... the investor... thinks they found the next Apple or Tesla investment (and they are clearly the smartest in the room), and then go off the rails when it all goes south, I can't help but shake my head and have a small giggle.A fool and their money soon go separate ways, Yes, but don't you wonder how they got together in the first place?

Regardless of what the talking heads are saying, the U.S. is in a recession. 

National bank meant easily transferring funds immediately to kids account free even though they’re in different state, knowing the branch in NC can issue us a bank check for next closing after flying in and learning final amount, paying for new car in Pennsylvania after seeing it and negotiating price, bank branch right down the street.

Can the leverage be paid down on an accelerated schedule w the income from the property?

Make sure you put discount clauses and subordination verbiage in your offer.Use the Installment down payment clause.A Front Porch clause can be used to completely eliminate the down payment requirement.Write in your offer that seller pays all transfer, contributes X-$'s to you at settlement and that you receive all positive escrows if there is a mortgage to be paid off, and the seller agrees to leave stuff in the house or garage - all furniture, the old car in the garage, tools and garden stuff.

Will try to make it down to your meetup sometime.
