Using Private Lender For Down Payment Vs. Property Purchase

Troy Deverill
Posted

Hey everyone! I'm a brand new investor and I purchased my first property about a month ago,which is a suited house, and we are just finishing up the renovations and are in the process of getting it rented out. I'm looking for my next deal, but I don't have any capital of my own since it's tied up in my last property still, and I won't be able to get any out until I refi in 5 years, because I didn't use the BRRRR method for this one, so I managed to get my hands on a private lender who is willing to fund my entire project, with that being said, I'm trying to determine if it is better to use them to purchase the property and pay for rehab, etc. OR if I should just use them for the down payment & rehab instead, because obviously interest @ 10-15% on 50k - 80k, is a lot lower than 10-15% on 250 - 350k. Thanks everyone!
