Large organizations often work this way -- the left and right hands don't know what the other one is doing.If a technical solution won't fix the problem (such as letting the hot water run for a few minutes), Plan B is working with the landlord to get the issue resolved and Plan C is finding another place to live.

We could probably have enough for a 3.5% FHA loan within the next year, but on the other hand we could pull a HELOC on her home to potentially (not sure how feasible this is) buy a home for us to live in in Gainesville, and maybe a down payment on another investment property.

As of right now, I'm nowhere near the point where I could pull off something like that.

Hi All,I am wondering what opinions people have about up-and-coming RE-tech startups that offer crowdfunding platforms or tokenized investment solutions in an attempt to solve the high barrier to entry (accessibility) and liquidity problems in real estate investing (would anyone consider using these platforms as an alternative to traditional real estate investing at any stage in their endeavors?)

This seems quite limiting if you're trying to BRRRR a property in under 6 months since so much of the out of pocket expense are the rehab costs which you aren't able to refi out of.Is it really as black and white of a choice as 1) wait 6 months to pull out the full 75% LTV or 2) if under 6 months only pull out the original cash purchase amount?

The sellers realtor now says it’s “as is” and the seller does not want to put any money into it.Lastly, the remodeled garage never had actual permits pulled; only a letter from the town building commissioner stating it has been passed per his review without any permits being pulled.

How did they manage to pull that off.

There are many many in this town where a permit was pulled, but no inspection ever happened.

I bet the old tenants wont like it Although this is an amusing solution, the firm would definitely not take the case because of obvious "conflict of interest." 

If you aren't willing to pull the trigger on one of those kinds of deals then find a different market.
