In efforts to contact houses that fit our criteria but having issues finding the best service for mailers, post cards, or traditional hand written letters. 

I’m curious—how have you found the costs associated with this type of funding compared to traditional hard money loans?

Hey @Anna Stohlmann - congrats, you've hit that point in your REI journey where traditional mortgage products will not work (unless you bring a ton of cash to the table to reduce LTV). 

While I haven't done a traditional flip, I have done some heavy remodeling at each of my properties and have some unique ways to find potential on market deals. 

@Vitali Ganon we own and operate several MF properties in Jacksonville and we 3rd party manage for other traditional rentals 1-80 units.

Well the pro is cheaper and faster and cost way less than traditional repiping method.

I think the best strategy for me and my family would be house hacking.Currently we have a traditional mortgage on our home that we purchased in 2018.

I have equally found that there is something magical about IN-PERSON MEETUPS...when I left my traditional W2 for a PropTech startup I led our grass-roots business development by going to every possible Chicago Meetup for about 2 YEARS STRAIGHT!

Have you been leaning towards traditional lenders, or are private and hard money options becoming more appealing?
