Hello folks, I bought a duplex recently in SC via conventional loan, and I'm constantly looking for deals and I tend to find good ones every now and then but don't want to deplete my cash reserves for the 25% down payment. I've been working with conventional loan from a mortgage company but have been reading a lot about hard money lending or PM lending for the BRRRR strategy. I'd like to start BRRRR-ing and will start with a cheaper property needing little work and then cash out refinance. For those who are HM lenders, what are the questions that you need me to answer for you to work with a newbie like myself? I'd appreciate your help on that.
