Hello Ryan,@Ryan DosseyThis is a great learning story that shows all the problems we handled when Fix & Flipping properties.

He's been flipping real estate since the 60's, and as he got older, landlording became a chore he could no longer handle, nor wanted to hire out, so he approached all his tenants and asked if they wanted to buy the house, with prior rent being applied as a down payment.  

I have lived here my entire life and have seen such a growth in my community and have a lot of questions about how I can get started investing in rentals as well as fix and flips.

We recently had a FLIP project that had significant damage , and had to be torn down in Elk River, MN.

Traditionally banks loan on appraised or purchase, whichever is lower...you may be describing a hard money lender...that's a different ballgame altogether...It's impossible (in 99.999%) of all real estate acquisitions to use financing and acquire a property with no money out of pocket...best you could do is HML if you're flipping this...you may scrape by with points and fees...If you're using HML you will have to sell the property or settle the debt with a re-finance...re-fi's are typically 70% LTV...and completely dependent upon your personal financial situation, DTI...easy to get burned if you don't have capacity or the value is not there...and this is an expensive asset.A conventional lender can't lend if seller financing is involved...lending constraints...
