If you could go back and have a 10-minute conversation with your younger self, what financial lesson would you hammer home? Drop it below. 👇 Someone in this community is probably making that exact mistake right now, and your comment could save them years of frustration.

If you have a deal that uses provider money to renovate purchase price of house is $100,000 Renovation is $75,000 Estimated after repair value is $270,000. Are you typically responsible for a 20% downpayment or does the equity cover the down payment. I know when we built our house we had already paid for the land and then it appreciated by the time we built we had $90,000 in equity so we did not have to put a down payment when we rolled the construction loan into a mortgage. I know that is for my primary residence so I was not sure how lenders treat equity on investment deals.
