Gotta remember that one. 

I remember periods of time driving the city this year and seemed like every few houses, someone had foundation work being done.Make sure you have a good gutter system to divert water from the property skirting and proper drainage, no pooling around the house, etc. 

Always remember that water is the enemy of a house....

Remember, you didn't LOSE that money...it's just equity in the property.  

While groups like Blackstone are the 700 lb gorillas (even iBuyers to the average SF investor) it's important to remember these groups are ultimately subject to the will of their investors.Institutional buyers traditionally 'overpay' for properties because they don't buy properties one-off.

I have a $200,000 HELOC that I used one time to purchase a property for a quick flip.It's important to remember that both methods are a way of borrowing money and they come with payments.

I still remember him in a positive light so I guess it works.

However, after further analysis if you determine this deal is a deal then weigh the creative financing options that are available out there but still remember they're not a guarantee so the seller financing could not be offered eliminating you from the deal, but of course it won't hurt to try but just remember that is a possibility.

But just remember, this information is just for right now. 

Remember there are closing costs on each closing (buy and refinance).6.
