The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge. (First potential deal)

[Matthew Horn]

Hello BP family,

I hope that you all are well. I recently found a potential deal and i wanted to get some opinions and advice about moving forward. My goal is to get the house at a great price, make the necessary improvements and flip it. I have never worked with a hard money lender before, I know that i will need one for this project.  Any advice with approaching hard money lenders and how to prepare my self would be greatly appreciated.

Its going to need about 15k-20k in Rehab. 

I checked the comps in the area and there has been numerous homes with the same Sq Ft that have sold for around $87,000 -$90,000.
