@stansup,
Ok I'm in for a lazy 200k, where should I send the money.
Incidentally, I doubt the bank has approved a personal loan, I suspect you mean a loan secured by first mortgage over the asset. Moreover, the $550,000 is not the bank valuation of the property ( a 100% loan is somewhat unlikely) but the prudential limit to risk in this case. Your firm "oppinion" (sic) that the asking price is appropriate is corroborated by what cost benefit analysis, independent or otherwise?
Is it your plan that the additional finance be debt, equity, hybrid or gift based?
My bank told me that the funds would be available the next business day if I borrow under the line of credit but that I can only have same day funds if I withdraw from my accounts so I'm wondering which would suit you best.
