My name is Hogan Chouinard and I am new to real estate investing, I have been wanting to get involved with real estate for a while because I want to give myself financial freedom in the future by putting in the extra work right now, I want to start a real estate portfolio that I can continue to build on over time for years to come, and I am hoping that I can meet some people on bigger pockets that can help me along the way!

We've been doing a lot of work on the house but most of it has been minor cosmetic stuff.

I work with a company that does tax appeals at no cost unless we win. 

Long term does not make much money, but less work.

I'm currently looking into the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) and need some advice on structuring a deal for a house that's in foreclosure.Here's a brief overview of my situation:Property Value: According to Zillow, the house is worth $649,500.Current Loan Amount: $470,000, which is the current market value without any repairs.Funding: I'm looking for a hard money lender to cover 100% of the purchase cost and rehab cost.Tenants: I already have tenants in place.I'm working on getting the exact numbers for the rehab costs, but I would appreciate any advice on how to structure this deal effectively.

Two classic examples of very recession resilient would be the 2 things certain in life: death and taxes.
