@Andrea Hernandez the lenders I've seen that will offer the initial draw up front are often charging an extra point or 2 at close and/or the rate is way higher.  

I take the time to pre-screen my clients before offering a tour and being sure that I'm spending time only touring applicants that meet my qualification criteria.If you're having trouble getting people to show up for appointments, also consider adding some layer of automated reminders via text or email to your prospective applicants.Last, I should highlight that smaller towns are going to need you to network more to get the word out.

Sounds like you’ve already dipped your toes into real estate by renovating and selling your own properties, that’s a solid start, especially with firsthand experience in adding value.

TL;DR: One listing added an entire bathroom that doesn't exist in county records. 

A nicer kitchen or an extra bath can push value up, but over adjusting can make a deal look stronger on paper than it really is. 

Turnkey properties do not get any more appraised value then vacant units, so any premium would need to be added to the cash to close. 

Spent the year fixing it up, bumping rents, adding a bedroom and doing 2 unit turnovers.

I’ve seen the biggest breakthroughs come from tightening systems before adding more doors.

And what has to be capitalized and added to your basis.

A LOC can double as added reserves AND ALSO funds you can draw upon to take down more deals!
