It is a risk to hold the place for an extra month. 

Although i have positive equity and the value of the house went up I’m breaking even with no cash flow.

Considering that “track record” is an issue, our first deal will probably be stabilized with day one cash flow.

This might not seem like a big deal, but when you have several properties it is great to have a picture with an address.It costs tenants extra to pay rent through doorloop, it is free on tenant cloud. 

This is the typical investment strategy for wraps - buy on a wrap (non-qualified assumption) and sell on a wrap and cash flow.It is all a matter of disclosure and the end buyer's acceptance of the risk. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Saying that, we are only interested in buy-and-hold investments that offer positive cash flow upon purchase and some minor non-structural reno's. 

Is there a typical amount that may be offered extra to help them out after I come to my price?

Obviously wholesalers is a main way but 9 out of 10 times you will need to pay with cash or HM and probably won’t have an inspection or option period.

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.
