Quote from @Jennifer Fernéz:

Hi all! I’m looking for a lender to help me start a portfolio. I have about $100K in cash. 709 median credit score. I don’t qualify for conventional loans because my debt to income is to high with a pending new construction primary residence loan. Can anyone help? I don’t have a particular property yet, however, I do have a neighborhood in mind so when something comes up I have to be ready to pounce. The homes are usually in the $200K-$250K range with rent $1900-$2200/mo. I can explore other neighborhoods that would produce more rent with a lower mortgage, but I prefer this specific neighborhood because of the proximity to the hospital (lots of traveling nurses and it’s a high demand area) and the school district is the best one in the county, with the highest appreciation rate in the county. Thanks in advance!! Jennifer

Post: DSCR financing for multiple cabins in Hocking Hills

Quote from @Joshua Myers:

We have 3 A frame cabins built on a single 5.5 acre lot in Hocking Hills. It has been financed all cash so far and we plan on building a total of 6 additional cabins in phases over the next three years. We are exploring options, but aren't too excited about taking on 7 figures of debt on a construction loan. We are looking for a DSCR loan on the existing three cabins to use as permanent working capital while to fund the rest of the project via equity.

If anyone knows a good lender in the area that can work with these constraints please let me know.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

When it comes to fix-and-flip projects, the down payment and closing costs can add up quickly. I’m curious how you all manage these upfront expenses. Are you using hard money loans, tapping into savings, partnering up with others, or maybe using seller financing? I'm hoping to hear some creative ways people are handling this part of the process. How do you make sure you have enough funds to pull the trigger on a deal?

Would love to hear what’s worked for you and any tips you have for making sure the funds are in place to lock down a great deal. Looking forward to learning from your experiences!



To manage upfront costs on fix-and-flip projects, many investors use a combination of strategies. Hard money loans are popular for covering both purchase and renovation costs, though they come with higher interest rates. Others tap into personal savings or use business lines of credit for more flexibility. Partnering with others can spread the financial risk, while seller financing may eliminate traditional down payments. Crowdfunding or real estate syndications also pool capital from multiple investors. The key is to secure financing options before finding a property, ensuring you have enough funds to move quickly when a great deal arises.

Quote from @Denny Knapp:

Hi BP community. I just joined BP pro and im stoked to get started. I seen somewhere where there was some info on how to estimate how much the rehabs will cost i just dont know where it is. also can someone tell me how i will know what the ARV will be? Thank you all so much!



For estimating rehab costs, try using the BiggerPockets Rehab Estimator Tool or get quotes from contractors through sites like HomeAdvisor or Thumbtack. As for ARV, check out comparable sales (comps) on sites like Zillow or Redfin, or talk to a local realtor for a better idea of what similar homes are selling for in the area. Hope that helps—good luck with your project!

Post: Cash-Out Refi for Investors!

Looking to expand your portfolio or renovate? Cash-out refinancing could be your ticket to more capital without selling your properties. 

What is Cash-Out Refinancing?

Cash-out refinancing allows you to refinance your existing mortgage, pulling out a portion of the equity you've built in your property, and convert it into cash. This cash can then be used for:

  • * Buying additional investment properties
  • * Renovating existing properties
  • * Paying down high-interest debt
  • * Or any other investment opportunity you want to explore
