I agree with @Kerry Boyle and @Tom S.
As a new investor, a hard money lender will lend to you if the deal makes sense but expect a higher origination fee, interest rate, and other requirements (like cash reserves/interest hold backs/stringent draw-down for rehab).
There are some private or non-bank lenders that will refi you out of their own hard money loan once you've got renters in place OR the rehab is done and market rent analysis is sufficient/supports the DSCR they want to warrant a refi into a longer term. The rates for that type of loan will be higher than a traditional bank but you won't run into the problem of not being able to get out of the hard money loan.
