Newbies looking for direction

[Jamila Cooley]

Hi,

We (boyfriend and I) are trying to get started in real estate with rehabs and rental properties. To start we think it would be best to do a rehab, but we are running into a few roadblocks. Can anyone recommend a lender or give advice in what type of loan is best. We really do not want to have to live in the residence for a set period of time before we can flip. 

Thanks in advance for all help!
