Best financing strategies for a very very short term loan
Hey guys,
I have found what looks to me to be a decent deal. A condo for sale for $109,000. The bank owns it from I think a foreclosure. From what I can see all it needs is a toilet and one small piece of drywall installed to make it conventional loan worthy. Im also a licensed contractor. So I thought I would do what I have learned from the podcast and offer to fix theses two items before so I can get conventional financing. The bank said absolutely not.
So is a hard money loan for a month or two the best option here? Im looking for other options also if you can think of any.
Thanks!
