@Heidi Christensen  Yes, combining seller financing with a bank loan.  5% down, 15% seller financing and 80% bank loan.Key points: had to be a commercial loan, this won't work with conventional lending. 

This makes it so I cannot customize because the option drop downs fall under the non-functional map.

I spoke with a friend a couple of weeks ago who is a nurse in Seattle, and she shared some insights that might shed some light on the current market.During COVID, we saw a significant surge in the demand for traveling nurses due to a combination of factors: many nurses left the profession out of fear, hospitals faced an influx of patients, and the financial incentives for hospitals to hire traveling nurses were quite high.

It's a combination of any free cash flow each month, plus the principal paydown on the debt, plus the appreciation that occurs over time.

I hunt for ugly houses with good bones, rehab them for function over flash, rent for steady cash flow, refinance to pull out my initial money, then do it again.

Quote from @Neha Mulkar: Hi BP Community,I wanted to share an update on our real estate journey and hopefully get some feedback or ideas.Here’s the situation:I currently have $30,000 available for a down payment and closing costs.My daughter is a junior at Georgia Tech, and we pay $6,000 per semester toward her expenses (around $12,000/year).We’ve been thinking hard about how to combine supporting her education with starting our real estate investment journey.Plan:We’re now looking to purchase a 4-bedroom apartment or townhouse in Westside Atlanta (30318 area).

Functionality?

In my analysis, I estimated the annual insurance premium as if they were combined, then I learned that the 1 bed 1 bath must be insured separately.

It’s mostly about safety (no peeling paint, working smoke detectors, no broken windows, functioning HVAC/plumbing/electric).
