What’s the best way to finance a deal?

[Sam Bannister]

I’ve bought a few houses for cash, but I’ve never borrowed money for a deal. I have an opportunity from a wholesaler that I’d like to purchase in the next two weeks, although I don’t think I’ll have time to get a conventional loan. What’s my best route? Should I go through a hard money lender and hope the market doesn’t cool off before I can refi? Also, will they loan rehab costs or should I do that separate?
