Private Capital or BRRRR Property (Chicken/Egg Help)
Good afternoon!
My wife and I have developed what we affectionately call a “starter portfolio”. A single family home, a duplex, a triplex, and a short term vacation rental.
While this year has been fun, we are trying to build towards a true long term investment strategy, and continue to grow.
Where we live (Upstate/Western NY) real estate reliably slows down when the weather turns cold and the snow piles build. That being said it’s a great time to buy.
We would LOVE to get a SFH/Duplex BRRRR project for the winter, while we save for another investment next fall, but to accomplish this winter's goal we are running short in capital.
I’ve never spoken to a wholesaler or hard money lender. I have a great contractor, but what comes first here? The home or private lender?

Listen to @Josh Caldwell
I make offers all the time. Cash price 50k, 65 if you take 5k down and 500/mo for 3 years and then the balance of 42k at the end of 3 years. OR 70k if I give you 5k down and $541. for the next 10 years until it is all paid off.
Gotta give people options.
ps that is an owner finance, zero interest rate option, but I never said "owner finance" or "no interest", did I??
