Im curious, as a new investor, I have loads of motivation, interest, and enthusiasm for moving forward with my REI dreams. But I don't have much capitol, to invest. I am a very handy person, and the idea of renovation/ improvement is IMO my biggest asset.

Im really interested to know what everyones views are on hard money to get started. Ultimately I feel like its a way to build up portfolio to then focus more on getting private money. I realize its the most pricy option when it comes to money, but id least like to ask.

@Matthew Von Dwingelo eager to hear continuation of this

Hello BP

been poking around for a month or two, figured it was time to make an intro post.

Always have had an interest in REI but never was motivated enough to go towards it.

I work a day job ive largely hated for years HA, but consider myself a fairly handy person, understand mechanical things, so the idea of the BRRR method is very appealing to me. Obtaining $$ to do these deals is largely where my skills end.

would love to connect with other central PA investors and learn!

Thanks!

As a newby myself, this was a great question

also just finished reading this book, it def leaves out alot of information IMO. I feel like i have a million new questions about variables, intricacies, etc that aren't mentioned at all. HA

2nd ever post! been lurking around for weeks and finally need to jump into some of my questions. As a very new student of REI, I have a few specific questions I just dont read much on. As I inquire with hard money lenders for info, they ask for deal information and sometimes contract information on the property. Is this how many deals go down, a buyer gets an agreement on a property and then secures the funding? In my mind, id prefer to know I could fulfill the deal before agreeing to it. If this seems like a super dumb question I apologize. Ideally as I move forward I would focus more on private funding etc.

Sounds awesome man, as a super newbie myself id be very interested in how you bought off auction.com and how getting the hard money loan went for you?
