If your main driver is saving money please pay the professionals.

Hi bought ten lots of land in Sebring Florida its R# zoned paying for upfront construction cost need help with getting a mortgage once its built so I can continual to build on  the rest of the lots going to be about 18 homes made of containers I have 3 other investors working with me.

He would pay my mortgage payment and assume all responsibility for home maintenance until such time as he can qualify for financing. 

Why would a borrower go to a retail bank and pay a premium rate when they can go to a mortgage broker that’s tied to wholesale lenders exclusively and save money on closing costs and interest rates? 

Ideally, you get them to pay you directly for the cost. 

More importantly, there no great bargains there…people are paying at or close to market value.

If you don't pay they have the power to foreclose and also to force payment thru a judgement if you ever sell the house.

I've been searching for a while here on BP but have not found a thread related to my situation:I've been renovating and renting a property for just over 2 years and may be in a position to sell/close in the next 30-60 days.I am trying to cut-off major projects at this time to make a clean break, however we have committed to replacing windows in one of the units (windows are already ordered), with total project lead-time of 45-60 days (windows have been hard to get for the past year).In the event we have a closing date PRIOR to window installation, how should we handle paying the contractor?

In this scenario, you are lending money to yourself as an individual, it allows you to make regular mortgage payments to yourself rather than paying the P+I to a bank or other lender.The first step is to qualify for a Non-Arm’s Length Mortgage with a financial institution. 

However, if you think rates will decline in the next 2-3 years and you're deal flow will be intermittent (i.e. 1-2 deals a year with some months without activity) I would lean more towards the HELOC as you only pay interest on the amount you access/withdraw.
