First time investor interested in using a hard money loan
Hi! I am a rookie and I am just starting to figure out how I am going to get the money for my first real estate investment. I am interested in using the hard money-> flip-> refinance method but I am a little hesitant to do so. If I obtain the hard money loan and then flip, is there any chance the bank will not refinance and leave me stuck with the short term hard money loan to pay off?
