I have seen genuine, sleezy, pushy, aggressive, tactical and a million others in this business.

@Matt Bucklaew I’m sorry if I was coming off as snide I was genuinely asking and thank you for the insight.

I am genuinely interested because if so section 8 may be the best path.

Thank You to all who replied, I genuinely appreciate it.So 5-10% should be a minimum rule of thumb, per se.

4) How to find Hard Money Lenders and regular houses that can be transformed into good deals?

All you want to do is be genuine and show them you are serious.

I may have to wait until I close this deal to do it, however, I am genuinely working toward improving my credit so I can just buy when needed.Hard money is an option and then just hold it until the time is up but that gets very pricey very fast for each monthly payment until paid back.I have also been looking into the promissory note idea.

We spent 15k and transformed the basement into a separate mother-in-law apartment, and have renters living there.

@Verna Littleton this was a great transformation!
