Securing funding has been challenging, particularly because my business documents reflect low revenue from only one duplex, and I am currently between jobs.I have identified a reasonably priced piece of land and have saved a small portion of the funds from my duplex sale to invest in this venture.

Myself I used my own internal funds to prove my model.

How do I go about finding the best banks or companies to get pre-approvals and is it worthwhile to get multiple?

By holding the property until its value increases significantly, you can execute a cash-out refinance to fund your next purchase.

Depending on the type of commercial you want to get into my suggestion is to go work for a company that does commercial real estate as learning from people who do it and getting paid at the same time is not a bad strategy 

I also do more significant development that takes longer through a fund. 

Now I'm not saying that to say that their customers should expect to be able to talk to a representative at their company on odd hours or anything.

If funding is an issue, you do have some options.

@Kiryl Ulanovich,You're on the right track:Get Pre-Approval from Hard Money Lender – Know your terms and limits upfront.Find a Deal Through a Wholesaler – Verify numbers and ensure it meets your criteria.Review the Assignment of Contract – Confirm terms, earnest money, and contingencies.Conduct Due Diligence – This includes an inspection (if allowed), verifying ARV, and rehab estimates.Submit to Hard Money Lender for Final Approval – Lender will review title, contract, and property condition.Title Search & Clear Any Issues – Ensure a clean title before closing.Close Through Title Company – Finalize funding and take ownership.Consider also lining up contractors early for a smooth transition into renovations.

How will the borrower know they brought a property you will fund?
