@John Thedford what if you don’t have the money to buy the property yourself ? Should you not even attempt to wholesale a property if so ?

@Dan Gamache I’m looking to flip although I’m not against buy and hold and refinancing later to pull money out. I don’t have a down payment which is way I’m looking for ways to find private money/lenders

As a wholesaler what are the steps of getting a property under contract ? And what happens if you aren’t able to assign that contract to an investor ?

What are some ways a newbie like myself can find private money/lenders ? I need help because I’m so anxious to start my journey in real estate and it seems like private money may be my only real option to get started.

@Jason D.

Thanks Jason I appreciate the insight

Is it a bad idea to use a personal line of credit to fund a down payment on a rental property ?

I have very little cash on hand and I’m eager to get started on my first deal. I know not to rush into this thing or I might end up with a bad deal but I just been trying to figure out strategies that could work for someone like me

Just trying to see what the market is like in St. Louis in regards to house flipping. What areas are people buying in️ vs. renting. What areas to stay away from.
Thank you Dennis for the feedback. I appreciate it

265$ is a good profit for one door but it’s a lot of screwing around . This will probably go against what most would do but In a c class area and especially in a multi family you could do much better than that a month but yeah he’s on track . Looks like a nice place too 

Thanks for taking the time to look and give me some feedback. Being a new investor sometimes the numbers look a little too good to be true.

Congrats man! Only suggestion I would give you is to check with local banks about refinance seasoning. I know you have it in the calculator to wait 12 months but you may be able to do it after 8 (2 months for the renovations you were planning and 6 months of consistent rent). That would save you quite a bit on the hard money loan.

Good luck finding your next property. I hope it is as good as this first one.
