could i start by flipping?

[Account Closed]

would you ever do a flip where you arent getting that 20k profit?

basically i am wondering, that if i could not find a buyer because they werent making enough profit... could i flip it myself to just make 5k?

if i could find 200% of the funding somehow?

Most HML's will only loan up to 70% LTV, some only 65% and that's off the ARV. That said, they usually want you to have some "skin in the game" as well unless it's an amazing deal. Say you could be all in on a house for 50-60% of the ARV they may fund you 100% of the deal, but numbers would have to be pretty solid.

As far as the 5k profit.....that's not enough spread for the HML to lend on. You should find a good HML lender and see if you can walk through some of there current projects and see the numbers for yourself. They will tell you exactly what will work and if you find a deal that they will lend on, you know it's a good deal.
