Quote from @Connor O'Brien:

I used Getinland for my hud203k in 2018. It’s been a while but if you can’t find any good ones I’m happy to share their contact

I recommend Getinland as well. They did our property last year.

Quote from @Li Lu:

I recently closed a building with 24 residential units and it is more than 100 years old.

I have talked with a designer/architect about interior design.

His quotation is around 21k for all the units.

Is the quotation reasonable?

I remembered I saw one of the posts that said the budget is around $1000 for an apartment.

Please share your experience. 

Much appreciated!


 That sounds reasonable.

Understand that if this property is an investment only then you will likely need to put down at least 20% since you wont owner occupy. If you can find a way to remove the tenant and move in yourself for the first 12 months you can take advantage of FHA loans which cater to lower credit and allow 3-5% down. PM me if you want a few names of mortgage brokers. Good luck!

 Thanks for the advise. I'll keep you in mind if I decide to go that route.

Hi All, 

I just wanted to get some ideas on where I should be looking for a loan or hard money to purchase my first rental property. I've been wholesaling and closed a few deals, but I came across a property that is currently tenant occupied that is deeply discounted will have a large amount of equity right off the back. ARV is 138k , purchase price is 83k, and tenant pays $1250. The house is in great condition and only needs cosmetic work as it has been been well maintained. The current tenants have been there for over 10+ years.

I don't have great credit and it will be my first home purchase. Is hard money the way to go or should I be looking into a conventional loan? 

Any advise is appreciated.
