Seeking Advice on Using a Hard Money Lender
Hey all,
My name is Alex and I want to find a deal this year!
For the next 6 months I will be saving my a$$ off to build up the capital for my first investment. I will be targeting two areas; a fix & flip to pull out the cash when I re-finance or a multi-family home (2 or 4 units) to live in one unit and rent out others.
I am considering partnering with a hard money lender on a deal to get the ball rolling...or should I just wait to save money myself? I know there are a lot of dependencies.
Also, I have never bought a home before...
Any advice? Or anything else I should add for context?
