Hey Clint,Finding a reliable lender has been critical to my success in funding flips. 

I am seeking reliable data and cannot solely rely on platforms like Zillow for this information.Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Maybe give Dad a preferred return to reflect how much capital he has locked up on this deal.IE say property is worth $4m with no debt (keeping it simple), and cash flows $800k annually.

As you talk to lenders, make sure you know the following:    1 Rate Lock Policy - If the DSCR lender doesn't rate lock for 45 days, then I'd go elsewhere.

However, since we are staying out of the country, we would like to look for a reliable airbnb property management companies to do the end-to-end management from task i.e. listings, fixing a broken lock, get the house clean, liaise with guest etc.Any recommendation?

I ended up locking in a 6% fixed rate and I'm glad I did because my interest rate would have doubled if I went with a HELOC.

The completed expansion is expected to reduce travel time from Mobile to the Eastern Shore, increasing reliability and accessibility to jobs, educational facilities, medical services and recreational activities.

You may need to spend a few hundred dollars to get a lender name change if the new lender requires that, but depending on when you rate locked you may still end up saving money with a new lower rate.

Having a reliable team of subcontractors that you trust to deliver high-quality work within your timeline is vital when you begin your building projects.If construction is a new area for you, I highly recommend finding a mentor in your region.

From there, if you can find the house that needs basic rehab and lock it up for around 50-60% of that ARV, then you’ll do just fine most the time.
