Try to find a partner to bring in 20-25% of the deal, then get hard money for the rest of it. Hard money will finance 100% of construction and will be cheaper than most equity splits that you would do with a partner.

I have a single family home deal in the works…looking for a private lender 


 Private lender as in limited partner providing funds? Or are you looking for closer to hard money to finance fix and flip?

Hey Nic, do you have any other RE that you could possible include in some type of portfolio loan to get above 20% and get a more favorable rate? I ask because you have mentioned having other RE debt.

True private money is a lot of times more expensive then alternative lending. True private money is going to cost 10-12% plus deal equity which often makes the true percentage 20-22% on your money vs alternative lending which will be around 12-14%.

Here to chat if you want some help comping a deal and putting one together.

Hey everyone, hoping to meet some new construction and investor friendly agents in the greater Philadelphia region that have already represented that type of clientele. We're running into a handful of investors that need good representation.

Hey BP community!

I am a prospective first-time buyer looking to house hack a 2 or 3 unit multi-family in the Philadelphia area (ideally South Philly). 

After doing some interviewing over the last couple of months, we have connected with an agent that we really like and are starting to dive in on property shopping and analysis. My next step is finding the next member of my core 4: the lender.

I have interviewed a couple and right now I have two that could be great, but I would love to talk to some more and ensure I am securing the best possible rates and partnership. Any advice on how to find the best lenders in my area for my needs?


 Hi Jonathan,

I'm a first-time buyer in Philadelphia and hoping to start the same process for a house hack. I was looking through the forum for lender recommendations and came across this old post. Did you end up finding a lender in the area that you would recommend? How did your house hack experience turn out?

Hope all is well!

-Jack


Hey Jack, I don't do traditional lending anymore only REI lending. But I was in traditional space for 3+ years, so I can refer you to some people that will take care of you. Feel free to send me a message
