Depends if the passive investment itself is internally leveraged,So, if an investor is investing in a syndication which owns say a 50 unit apartment complex free and clear of debt, and invests $100k, 50k of which is borrowed at say 5% on a home equity line of credit, this is probably ok.Not so much under the same scenario of personal borrowing where the syndication had a 50% LTV mortgage itself against the subject property.  

Just use your internal cash payoff your current loan do the lot split refi the 2 unit and get a stand alone construction loan for the new build.

I built an “HR Director Pro” prompt for my company to handle structured hiring, performance management frameworks, role scorecards, and internal accountability systems.It’s been surprisingly effective.

But lender's internal underwriting rejected that insurance. 

It started as internal notes and turned into something other owners kept asking for (we manage 80+ Airbnbs).If anyone wants it, happy to pass it along and always glad to compare notes with other operators on what’s working (or breaking) right now.

I even have hosted at international student which was not only a great experience, but the stipend paid for just about 1/2 my mortgage.

Hi Alex, I’ve been looking at similar ideas but from an international angle (tourism-heavy areas).

Some of the outskirt towns may bleed into neighboring counties.We are driving distance to NYC, Philly, and the shore, with an international airport and major warehouses, job and population growth, several colleges and universities, hiking and trails, waterways, museums, a booming healthcare sector, rising property values, diverse industries (both blue and white collar), still thriving malls, plenty of commerce, and ongoing redevelopment and development throughout.

Later when you have money to build internal roads short side of rectangle next to road or a square.  2.
