What’s stopping me is obtaining a loan. I have about 28k for downpayment on a property, but I can’t finance the rehab cost. I’m focusing on the Brrrr method.
Lenders want people with experience or an entity (private /hard money lenders) how do I over come this obstacle? I thought bout getting a conventional loan, but they won’t finance the rehab. Any way I can strike a deal with the seller so the rehab cost is wrapped into the mortgage loan?
Any seasoned investor that had experienced similar road blocks..can you please share you’re experience or advices?
Thanks!
Hey Freddy,
Really quick note about private/HML. Not all require experience. Most require you to have an entity as you are purchasing an investment as a business endeavor to earn income. Further, it allows the lender to avoid RESPA regulations which would nullify most of the Pros of using a HML.
Creating an entity can be extremely simple (google or BP search) - most HML don't require entity seasoning, so a newly created entity for one specific project can limit your liability and allow you to get a loan with your friendly HML rep you met through BP.
Now whether 28k can get you into and out of a deal is a question based on the numbers of the deal...
Thanks,
