On our recent project I found it to be much more cost effective and I had more control over the end result to essentially insert a structural steel post/beam type of solution to take the load from the existing masonry wall that was really struggling, in one case (that was where the garage masonry wall was carrying load). 

There are deals I want to jump on today where a seller is willing to carry 25-50% of the property cost.

Carry umbrella insurance.

It seems clear that we have to carry conventional and FHA loans for six months prior to refinancing.

@Nathan Golding“all my properties into 1 insurance policy.” you mean you by umbrella policy only ?

Careful budgeting of your spring rental proceeds is necessary to carry you through to the next high season.

Rates on this loan have gone up in the past year, and will likely continue ticking higher...at this pace, it won't be long before this loan hits 7%+ interest.Good / bad is that while this refund check would completely wipe out this particular loan, it'd take pretty much the entire refund check to do so.In case it helps, I have no CC debt (making this student loan the highest interest debt that we carry) & 2 car loans (one is like 2.6% and the other is like 3.5% -- so both auto loans are low interest).So...save this check to go toward my first REI venture, or get rid of this loan once and for all?

Due to the current tenants obsession with the color gold, remodeling is recommended.As far as how to get a a property with no money, I believe you take 70 percent of 1 percent, multiply that by the ARV minus your repairs and wholesale fee and that’s your offer.  

Owner wouldn't carry and it was about the same price as this park, like 700K or something, would have to get out my notes from the conversation to be specific.

Maybe you can negotiate your contract to have a further back closing date that would allow you to save the funds between now and then.If not, you start to get into a squirrely territory in the payday loans, vehicle liens, get-cash-fash schemes which carry high interest rates, can be dangerous, and also invalidate the terms of your mortgage if the bank finds out.
