I’m looking to invest in the Baltimore metro area in fix and flips as well as rentals I’ve had trouble finding funding, partner, etc. So I decided to use a Hard Money lender the Hard money lender requires a minimum of $15,000 in assets (which I have) I get a call today from my lender where they preapproved me for 45,000(but their loan min is 50k) but they would like to see more than originally request in assets .

Baltimore is very easy to find properties under $50,000 but a challenge to find them for that price and be able to renovate and make a profit.

I questioning if that’s all a hard money lender is will to offer me should I just apply for a unsecured loan for 50k and purchase as a cash buyer and have a total of 65k to work with or just save more over a couple of months?

It’s time to put all my education I’ve learned about real estate to good use, but what’s stopping me is what I assume turn off a lot of people and that’s funding..HELP!!!

Where are the investor friendly real estate agents in Baltimore Maryland I’ve been looking for properties for the last couple of months but of course having trouble finding properties the traditional way due to snails pace real estate agents or cash investors beating me to sales Baltimore city and Baltimore County a very good markets To invest in if you have the right team.

Newbie to real estate investing ready to jump in and swing for the fences, what is the first steps that should be taken From start to finish when flipping?

How do you purchase your first flip!! I feel like I’m moving too slow or jumping ahead with steps. What direction, what process should be done. Should I find a willing real estate agent to find possible flips Should I be looking myself using a realtor or Zillow what is the most efficient and effective way just to purchase your first flip??
