It's a lengthy conversation.

As a hard money lender, I specialize in providing fast and flexible financing solutions tailored for investors like you, especially when you’re looking to move quickly on a promising deal.Whether you're interested in fix-and-flip projects, rental property acquisitions, or other investment opportunities, I can help you secure the funds you need without the lengthy approval processes typical of traditional loans.

The other scenario where arms length is required is on new construction properties. 

This is lengthy, but I'm trying to provide as much detail as possible for anyone kind enough to provide feedback.I bought a condo 3 years ago but now need to move for work.Would appreciate feedback/thoughts on next steps on Sell vs Rental approach.Looking at the very high monthly exp/rev ratio, it seems I should sell, but want to make sure I'm exploring all options.

I find that converting the property into a duplex is a lengthy and costly process, and I want to start renting it legally without going through a long process, because I've spent for rehabs and don't want to put in more for now.

Bottom line, this is a lengthy process and it sounds like you need the investors yesterday.

That is a bit a of a lengthy reply.

Building is a lengthy process that requires coordinating multiple aspects, which can be time-consuming.On the other hand, buying an existing property is generally cheaper upfront and offers the advantage of immediate availability, so you can move in or rent out quickly.

Policies like rent control, zoning restrictions, high taxes, lengthy permitting processes, and more reduce housing supply.
