Hey @Andrew Jones From my understanding gap funding can be tricky with lenders tightening.
We focus on partnering with investors to bring equity, which lets everyone share the upside without taking on risky short term debt. I'm open to discussing partnership on any deals you find.
Best, Deon
Hi Deon, do you also invest in Iowa state?

Hi,
I’m currently seeking gap funding options to cover the down payment for purchasing multifamily investment properties in Scott County, Iowa. Our available capital is currently tied up in ongoing projects, but we continue to identify promising deals that we would like to acquire.
If anyone has recommendations for lenders or programs that provide gap financing for down payments, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Additionally, I’m interested in lenders who allow for seller financing arrangements, specifically where the seller carries a second lien to cover the down payment portion.
Thank you in advance for any guidance or referrals.
Sincerely,
Andrew

Yes you could find folks on line, but if you develop connections in your local market, you can go back again and again. Maybe find investment partners. People do business with people they know.
Thank you for the advice. We're from California and still new here in Iowa. Do you know of any REIA's or any other real estate investing meetups in Iowa?

We never worked with a private lender before. We would like some honest real life experience/reviews from anyone that has worked with this company.

Thank you for the advice. The property is in my name and my dad's name. The property is my primary residence but it is not my dad's primary residence. We have another property that is in both of are names that he lives in as his primary residence. So quick breakdown is:
Property #1 is in Davenport Iowa
Valued around $140k
we owe around $47k
This property is owned by my dad and I
This property is my primary but not my dad's primary.
This is the property I wish to access the equity from.
Property #2 is in California
This property is also owned by my dad and I
This property is my dad's primary but not my primary.
We do not have any plans to do anything with this property at the moment.

We have a property that is worth around $140,000 and we owe around $45,000 on the property. We tried to get a HELOC but the bank denied us because our debt to income ratio and credit score were not good. Any advice on how we can access the equity in our property?

Post: Ground up construction

Is there anyone with ground up build experience that is interested in partnering up with us for a project in Davenport Iowa? We own a church and a single family home on one parcel in Davenport Iowa. The church building is old and is starting to fall apart, so the property is currently red tagged now. So we are currently working on separating the parcels so that the single family home has its own parcel and the church has its own parcel. Then we would like to knock down the church and build a duplex on this parcel. We've talked to a few lenders and since this will be our first ground up construction project, they told us that we need to have someone with ground up build experience to also be loan with us. If you are interested in partnering up with us please let us know. Also we would appreciate any advice or help. Thank you.
