My question is where do I start with funding and how would I find investors if needed?

I was under contract for a property, and the financing fell through due to the property not meeting the lenders requirements and not being sufficient.The seller is trying to keep the EMD as I have signed and requested the mutual release.

I’m always open to learning and building strong, mutually beneficial relationships in this space.Looking forward to hearing from you! 

Suggestions are welcome, also looking to connect with people interested in a mutually beneficial relationship!

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @Don Konipol: @Jay Hinrichs“this seems like a mini private mutual fund..

Nothing illegal about doing that, but if caught, the lender may call the loan due and if you don't correct the situation or pay the loan off, they willstart mortgage foreclosure.3) You could also go the HELOC route to tap the equity in the home, but the 12-month owner-occupancy will also apply AND the interest rate on the HELOC will fluctuate with the Fed Fund Rate.4) You could do a cashout refi as an investment property, but that will be at an interest rate 0.5-1% higher than owner-occupied rate.Suggest you meet with 2-3 lenders to explore your options about the above.Once you have access to funds, recommend you buy a 2-4 unit with 20-25% down. - You can buy owner-occupied, live in one unit, and fix up and rent the other unit(s).- If you're handy, recommend buying a property in the worst condition you can tolerate.

That way, you could use Hard Money to fully fund the rehab before refinancing to agency. 

Therefore, due to the local jurisdiction, sometimes we choose to mutually terminate the lease and write a new one instead of modifying the original by agreement.

My current agent suggested if it made sense financially, to do some rehab work to get the properties rent-ready, but I do not have the liquid funds to do so and sell these as-is.

I have a couple of funding options on the table and I’d love to hear your thoughts:Funding Approach: I have capital partners who are willing to fund 100% of the project in exchange for 50% of the profits.
