I have completed a HELOC so I will have some cash in hand for construction costs or a quick cash purchase of a property.  

What percentage of their value can you typically cash out?

My dad works in construction as a general contractor and I have been working for him for the past few summers.

Typically an investment property financed with a bank requires 20-25% down.

Everyday I had off I was down there.I did find a good flooring guy that has expertise in the construction field,but works alone; you just had to keep him on a time schedule.His work was great but just another aspect to deal with.  

@Aaron MaxwellAaron, I’ve spent most of my studies and time working on a big problem in construction.

@Matthew Paul thanks buddy I am a construction worker so I have a ton of contacts and can do a lot of it myself for the first few houses

I would not worry too much about the rates, as credit card rates are typically higher.

We house a brokerage, property management company and construction company to better serve our clients.  

@Marissa Carroll :When new apartments come in, typically they will be the "nicest" units available in the market.
