Typically 30Y fixed, refi into an LLC, low doc loans that don't report on your credit. 

Norman,The policy I used most often on the fix & flip situation you described is a "Renovation Builders Risk" policy.  

I'm concerned now and for the future loosely sharing plans that have costed me and my partners a good amount of money.  

If it's not turn key, I will ask about who gonna fix the property for me.

So they scraped together the $10 - 20k necessary as a down payment for one of the real estate personality marketing systems (that also charge a back end percentage of the future sales revenue), and were given the program they would be pitching.Many moons ago I was at a RICH Club (Realty Investment Club of Houston) meeting, when a certain well known former television real estate fix and flipper was the guest speaker.

On the other extreme, for a (median) $382,650 purchase, rented at $1,400 /month rent, a mortgage at 0% down, 5% interest fixed for 30 years, the interest payment alone starts at $1,594 / month.

@Aline EladIf you take funds from an investment account and sell that asset I believe you will owe taxes on that gain even if you reinvest that amount laterIf you took a loan against it then that may be differentNot tax advice and not a cpa just sharing how it has worked for me in the past.

I recently had a client buy a restaurant building, the seller had purchased the building, spent a good chunk of change fixing it up, and then promptly went out of business b/c the food they were looking to 'supply' wasn't in 'demand' in that market (a restaurant's 'market' is the local area, a destination resort's market is obviously "the country" or "the world," so I think part of it is automatically solved in your case).

It would be a good 1031 exchange since we forced a good amount of appreciation.

Calculating the depreciation base, typically guided by a CPA, is the primary complexity.Except figuring out the depreciation base to use (what amount from the total acquisition cost goes for land and can’t be depreciated, and how much goes for the building/improvements to be used in the segregation and depreciation calculations, and even that should be an easy answer to figure out or get from your CPA), the rest is simple stuff your CPA will not know anyway (thus him sending you the “survey”) like, the sqft of the house, the length of the fence and if wood/iron/brick, how many ceiling fans in the house, how many cars garage, if carpet or tile in what room, etc.
