Personal Loan vs. Hard Money Option for Down-payment
Happy New Year All!
I'm hoping to break into the rental investment field and, like many newcomers, I'm running into challenges coming up with a down payment. I have some savings but I'm hoping to avoid going through all of it on a down payment.
I was hoping someone could explain the pros and cons between funding a down payment with a personal loan as opposed to a hard money lender. I have a general idea as to how both work but I'm interested in learning the various nuances when it comes to which option to take. Thanks in advance!
