Hard money loaf Vs Comventional loan for rehab rental property
I am having trouble figuring out whether to go with a hard money lender, or a conventional loan for my first rental property. I don’t want to buy something that needs too much work, something that is just about move-in ready besides for small cosmetics. I will need a lender to provide the money for repairs, then I can refinance and rent. Still getting started, so any information on how to do. This successfully is very much appreciate it. Thank you.
