I assume this allow them to come to closing with less cash down. 

Currently, I find myself in a situation where a significant sum of my cash is held up due to complications between these entities.

For appealing appraisal, the easiest way is absurd adjustments (and adjustments are often absurd: $10k for a BR when simple query of average 2br vs 3br sold will show value of that extra BR on average, same for bathrooms, etc).  

Taking this extra step ensures veterans have the same opportunity as others to compete in a tight housing market.

Maybe some extra money owed on taxes?

@Jacob Sherman I’m typically raising $100K - $400K for the purchase and repairs of a SFH or smaller MFP flip (short-term).A syndication seems like overkill, and some investors don’t want to deal with a K-1 because it’s not worth the extra accounting expenses for a short-term deal.

Apparently our DTI is too high for the HELOC so we can do a cash out refi but that is less desirable because it means we cannot then get the loan for the rental property despite having 25% down.

We have 5 Duplexes that we’re looking to cash out refi.

If I do find something, it is usually because it is priced according to condition, but once you value add and bring it up, you've now spent more cash. 

I am looking to purchase a parcel of land in Michigan and plan on using cash for the purchase.
