Hi all, just wanted to start with a big thank you to all who contribute to this site.  

We are eager to enter into the middle tennessee market and to engage in learning and contribution in the Bigger Pockets platform. 

Look forward to contributing to and learning from this community.

Until I'm ready to do conventional financing with my own capital, how would it be possible to structure a deal with a third party private money investor (or their IRA) so that they contribute the DP and it still makes sense for everyone?

(I would stop the contribution and be paying back the loan over a period of 2 years and my paycheck would actually go up, but in 2 years as things are now I'm probably putting 20k into my 401K that I would no longer be doing, so when the loan is paid off I'd just end up with the amount that is in there right now).The cash flow will be more than enough to pay back the HELOC and the 401K loan in 2 years but is this a good use of my money? 

There is underlying leverage, leverage most small investors can't get and def not without a PG but what I assume you are referring to is more the stub piece (typically 20% - 30%) which is what the CF investors many times are contributing for the sponsor (i.e. equity or in your message HNW). 

As far as the ARV, normally you wouldn't directly calculate what a rehab item is going to contribute to value, you would instead look at comparable properties that have that feature, and use a comparative analysis of recently sold properties to determine that value.  

Like noting that there was an economic shift in the 1970s but back in the 1970s computing was a negligible blip in terms to contributing to that change.  

Big thanks to everyone who has contributed to make this website a great place to learn.

The important part is that it goes into that account before the RRSP contribution deadline (end of Feb 2017?
