Can I Obtain Properties Using This Method?
Hey BP,
This may be an amateur question, but im going to ask it anyway. I was sent a deal that consists of 3 doors (duplex and a mobile home) fully rented that will seem to cash flow after the appropriate reserves are set aside. They want a cash offer of $128,000 for both properties.
My question to you guys is would I be able to use a hard money lender to obtain the property with cash and then refinance the property through a bank to obtain my mortgage?
Ideally I know we use hard money lenders for funding and purchasing rehabs. This particular lender though typically only charges 3 points on the front end and doesn't collect payments until the end of the loan.
Has anybody ever done this before? Open to all input and opinions.
Thanks,
Dennis

Using a HML is Not a cash offer, it's still financed. You could also get hung if you can't refi later for whatever reason and the hml is going to want a large down payment. If you think the property is Gina cable, make a financed offer.....not everyone gets exactly what they want.
