So basically what you guys are teaching me is i shouldnt mention the house i live in. I should only mention my non occupied home. My bad, now everyone in the forums is confused. For some reason i was under the impression i need to mention what the loan was for. I guess im the real idiot. This is my first time obtaining a loan so i dont know the process, i thoght i would mention some of my assets and thought process. I guess it threw everyone for a loop. Monkey no can haz a bannana.

Like i mentioned in the original post i have two houses. Did any of you even read the original post?

  1. I have a house that i live in
  2. A vacation house on a lake i dont live in
  3. A $450,000 house across the street from Disneyland is a very profitable rental when one night in a Disneyland hotel costs $550 for one room
  4. Vacation Rental homes go for $2500 a week here.

Hi, i am currently in foreclosure on my home.

My home value $450,000

My first loan $250,000

My second (personal loan from father) $25,000

I am behind on my monthly payments: $15,000

Other equity:

Second home (clear title): $120,000
6 land properties total (clear title): $300,000


I am currently recovering from a spinal injury. I am getting better slowly.

My goal:

I want to move out of my home and rent it out but i need to get a loan to get current on my mortgage and get myself out of foreclosure. I have approx 30 days left on my 3 month notice.

I will need to fix up the home before i can rent it. I also want to fix up the second home and rent it out. I can rent a room to live in thats fine with me. But i dont want to lose my homes because i can make money with them.

I am stated income from my own business (computer software) and limited to the hours i can work, most of my pain comes from sitting but i am very bodily able to do construction and labor.

  1. Should i get a hard money loan?
  2. Most of the loans i have inquired about are 1-2 years with interest only payments every month and balloon payment at end of the term 1-2 years. Is that good?
  3. The interest rates i am getting are 10.99%-20% is that good?
  4. I am afraid to take on a 1-2 year hard money loan is there any other option i may have? That's a lot of money to come up with in 1-2 years!
  5. Is there a place were i can get competitive bids on a hard money loan?

My income is limited and my credit is reported bad now. All i have is my equities.

Thank you for your help!
