Bank loan or private investors

[Kenny Johnson]

Hello Friends of BP,

My name is Kenny and I'm looking to close on a property that I have under contract by Nov 1. I have a couple of options with bank lenders, but was instructed to try and buy this property in cash (hard money or private lender) without a bank to refinance the property and avoid the 6 months of seasoning time. Purchase price with closing costs and rehab at 145k. ARV at 175k. Refinance as soon as repairs are completed (estimated Dec 1).

Am I doing this right? Thanks for any insights on the financing strategy as well as the deal.

I have about 60k of the 145k for cash needed. Let me know if anyone is interested in being a private lender on this.
