Seller financing or hard money??
which is better for someone starting out, seller financing or hard money?
I have one propertey right now but I'm finding that obtaining my second is a little more challenging. I have an fha on my first property but not enough equity yet to pull out any cash or line of credit.
My credit is not strong enough to do conventional financing hense why I am looking into creative ways to finance.
