Money Reserve Alternatives
Good Morning BP community, I was wondering if anybody has used any alternatives to money reserves. Can an investor use hard money lenders or private lenders to pay for a few vacant months on a MF rental property or maybe a closing cost? I dont have much in money reserves and it takes me a while to build that up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin, I understand that you want to get started in rei as soon as possible, but trying to find an alternative to the cash reserves is not prudent financially. I want you to be successful and start asap but not doing it correctly might come back and bite you...
