@JD Gunter I agree and should add that I spend 2-10 hours on the phone/zoom with each applicant before I let them into the program. 

@James Calvert there is conventional financing that allows you to use renovations to make the property livable, just as you would with an FHA 203k loan.

I have a property that I could sell for somewhere around 400 K with owner financing.

If it crashes hard enough, it impacts your personal finances, your relationships, and even your mental/physical health.With the exceptions of politicians and so-called charities, building wealth typically requires sacrifice and time.

As with every loan process, there are terms and steps the foreigner needs to follow, such as the loan application, which includes pre-qualification and property evaluation.

How did you finance this deal?

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

Off-Market: I was working for a storage facility and the owner needed help removing his stuff because he was moving How did you finance this deal?

Any insights on financing, managing renovations, or rental demand in Detroit would be greatly appreciated!
