Personally, I would try to pull out a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) on your property to have available for future purchases/emergencies. 

Most investors are looking into the medium-term rental space as this is the biggest emerging market in the area.

You could also do it and suddenly his old patterns begin to emerge and you have a real problem on your hands.Now, having said all that I am going to contradict what I just said, sort of, I have an acquaintance I know who killed someone in a drunk driving accident many years ago.

@Aaron Bihl yes I have been in discussions with Host Financial, and they are one of the exciting options I see emerging in the lending market.

-If an investor has some money but not an emergency fund and something happens they will need their money back, screwing up the investment.#3 I would want to know why they are not using the power of leverage and only putting 20% down.- You may find out they are very very conservative with their money and if you planned to be aggressive with it that would not make a good partnership.There are so many other questions to ask but I hope this gets you thinking.  

If you borrow it now to boost your savings/emergency fund and then wait through two bank statements showing those funds ( excluding the deposit) - so 60-90 days -then you can use your savings as a down payment.

They also offer a maintenance option of $50/mo to do a complete check monthly and work on-demand for emergency calls free or at a lower rate.

We are pushing Congress to provide relief for partners like you in the following ways: Extension of Small Business Administration (SBA) emergency loans for small businesses impacted by COVID-19;Tax relief for individuals and small businesses; andInclusion in any Economic Stabilization Fund to provide loans and loan guarantees to travel-dependent businesses.

You're looking for the emerging trends in real estate.

Was it an emergency?
