Hey everyone, any thoughts on taking out a business loan for buying your first rental property?

Sometimes this failure isn't the borrower's fault - like market fluctuations, seller remorse, or flaky GC who isn't showing up on the job site.

Nice, good job on the refinance.

Look forward to your thoughts.

Any other thoughts out there?

MiSTRA - the newly formed Michigan Short-Term Rental Association, does not support these bills as currently written and testified against it - we did a good job to be balanced and offered some ideas for improvements that could be much more favorable.

What are your thoughts on buying with cash to be competitive with the offer in a multiple offer scenario and then finance the property immediately after closing to get the cash back?

Also, as Account Closed mentioned, Gold can be very slow moving and transferring can be a bit a job all in its own. 

I thought about including our umbrella but didn't want it to cause confusion.
