Thank you,Jerry Jerry, I recommend getting in touch with an experienced broker who can educate you on all the possible options in the investment space for cash-out refinances.

One of the constants that I still see from when I first started on BP in early 2016 is the willingness of experienced ( some on this very thread ) folks in different aspects of real estate to try and help newbies and others with advice and perspective.I think it really is a testament to the fact that even though the investing environment has undergone many changes over those years the willingness to continue to help others has not changed.It helped me tremendously when I had to crash course on small MF ownership and I am grateful to all who helped with posts that they didn't even know that I had read and learned from.And yes the search function remains fairly useless and unchanged in that regard since then to the detriment of us all.

My hope is to build a strong network of like minded investors and real estate professionals that share similar goals, values, and experiences to help achieve successful REI deals!

Readers should seek professional advice.

If you plan on going the hard money route, most lenders will require an experienced, licensed GC to complete the rehab portion.Do you have the option to bring on an experienced partner for your first that can show you the ropes?

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
