How did you finance your latest rental purchases?

[Chad Carson]

I'm working on a blog post about real estate financing, and I'm curious how people have financed their latest 1-2 rental purchases. I'd like to do a rough survey of what sources are used most. 

So, can you tell me your type of loan, like:

• traditional mortgage types (FHA, VA, conventional)
• hard money
• commercial mortgage (like a portfolio loan or secondary market commercial)
• private money
• HELOC
• Seller financing
• Personal savings

If you did a BRRRR deal, you can list both the purchase and refinance source.

And if it was a traditional mortgage, hard money, or conventional mortgage - what company did you use to originate the loan?

Thanks for your help! I hope the answers are informative for everyone else who just happens to read this post as well.
