This logic is difficult for me to digest given this is mid-year and all the funds are allocated previous year.Anyone with experience or insights?

That was was my exact plan in regards to the multifamily in regards to the allocation of units but I did not know about the 203k until @Casey Murray mentioned it so now I have a much wider array of options purchase-wise.In your experience, is it worth trying to assemble an estimate based off of market rates and building specifications or should I just wait until I get the estimate from the general contractor?

The benefit here is two-fold: (a) it outlines all functions and components necessary to complete a site-built structure from the ground up; (b) you have a clear template for allocating responsibilities on rehabs.

You can allocate your proceeds any way you like. 

Since I have not yet obtained a private loan on a property and dont understand it's mechanics, I have a question on a specific scenario I have been playing with: If a private loan is obtained and the down payment is payed for using a cash advance on a business line of credit, could you then turn around and do a cash out refi with a conventional loan, and specifically allocate that money so that you can pay off the business credit money and a large chunk of the private loan?

(you can find how much suspended passive losses you currently have on your IRS Form 8582 - which your CPA is likely not giving to you and in that case you should get a new one)@Yonah Weiss when are you going to get my cost segs done :PWhat Lane mentioned here is IRS code (Sec. 469(g)(1)(A)): upon a taxable disposition of a passive activity, the taxpayer may use any remaining suspended passive activity gain allocated to that activity first against passive loss from the same activity, then against net passive loss from other passive activities, and then as a nonpassive income.In practicality, segregation most likely benefits the GP side (LP not so much) and becoming RE Pro is almost nonpractical (except in Airbnb-self managed case); the PAL offset route is much easier to implement. 

Of course, you could get a bank loan and use the HELOC as a downpayment, but you need to be careful the property still cash flows with that much debt attached to it (or allocated to in the case of the HELOC).

This is our first BRRRR so we are still working out the numbers and how much to allocate for each of the main expenses like Vacancy, Maintenance, & CapEx. 

Say you buy a $4M apartment complex and allocate $1M of it to land.

It is my view that the duplex when properly allocating for maintenance/cap ex is not going to have any income this year.
