What’s after the hard money loan?

[Matt Ruttenberg]

Ok, here’s what I’m trying to figure out.

As a first time real estate investor, I understand what’s available in term of funding the purchase, for the most part.

If we go the hard money/ private lender route, we’ll need to refi after the 1-year balloon, which is what I’ve been told are the terms from the lenders.

If I’m doing short term rentals, my conventional lender is telling me I need to wait 2 years to be able to use the income.

Any ideas out there on how to refi at the 1-year mark for the balloon payment if you can’t use the income yet?

Yes, there are products out there that will allow you to refi after you complete your renovation with no seasoning requirements
