I need help financing this deal.

The bank will make you leave 25% equity in the property - but you also still want the property to at least cash flow some - so be careful how much equity you pull out / new debt you take on.I would do a cost benefit analysis of what your actual gain is in cash-flow on buying a new property with a (currently) higher interest rate (if financing), versus just holding on to the current appreciated property and enjoying that cash flow.All the best!

Some ideas I've considered:Equity Buyout: Having another investor or my partner buy out my 40% equity.Seller Financing: Selling my equity and offering seller financing to the buyer.Selling the Property: Liquidating the property entirely and splitting the proceeds.Does anyone have experience with situations like this?

But if you can finance a home in an appreciating area make it breakeven and at some point (as always) either rents/nightly rates will increase, interest rates will go down, or both. 

Obviously, I want higher so value add or re-finance as things happen I can always own the option.

I’d appreciate any input you can offer on everything from financing to construction challenges.

And I have tenants that make multiple small payments every month because after they’ve moved in they’ve had their finances screwed up from what they were when I screened them.

I used to work in finance and we could get clients approved for a HELOC in less than 24 hours which will be much quicker than the cash out finance.

I joined this forum to connect with others, learn from those who’ve been in my shoes, and maybe even find people to partner with in the future.If you’ve got any tips, especially around raising capital or structuring your first deal, I’d love to hear them!

Lau, generally if you are financing with a commercial lender- we lend for business purpose only and a rental property would fall under that category.
