Help a newbie out
What's up BP! So I'm looking to get into an investment property within the next 60 days (🤞🏼) preferably a multi-family. My issue is, I'm stuck when it comes to knowing what course of lending to go with (I have excellent credit, no consumer debt) but don't want to break the bank and I currently live in my primary.
I have heard a lot of negatives about hard money lenders but I want to learn more about the process. Can anyone give advice,tips,experiences on HML, and would you recommend this for my first investment?
Appreciate ya🙏🏾

@Carlos Valencia..Yes thank you for your response! I have heard HML was more for flips but now I know for sure. Thanks again!
