If you are self employed with no full time employees then you should consider a Solo 401k for your traditional funds and no UBIT on leveraged real estate. 

In many/most BRRRRs that is irrelevant because when the property is bought it is often not fanciable using traditional mortgages.

I bought it because it was supposed to be easier to keep up with than traditional, but I've had to rebalance the ph myself several times.  

However, we often facechallenges in sourcing suitable properties through traditional MLS listings.

I've done a lot of wraps and subtos and highly prefer the seller-finance strategy for a lot of reasons, including offering the opportunity of homeownership to those otherwise rejected by traditional banks.

The idea is to convert a multi-family building into condos; but not in the traditional sense where you separate pre-existing apartments into their own condos; but in a way where you combine the common areas of all of the apartments in that whole building, and turn the individual rooms within those apartments into condos themselves; thus transforming the hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, porches, balconies into common areas of the condos. 

I am trying to get a hard money loan to start with the BRRR method.

If you don't want to put a single dollar down then you can just structure a 100% financing with the sellerHey Ko, it’s nice see you again.I’ve spoken with the seller and they want a 10% down.I think I’m going to wholesale this deal if I can get good terms, but every once in a while I come across a good deal that I would like to purchase as a buy and hold.what type of loans would you recommend for traditional buy and hold? 

I feel direct mail is another great method.

Hey Andrew, for a 12-unit property, traditional lenders like Fannie and Freddie could be great options, especially if it's stabilized with a strong upside.
