@Jaren Taylor, not sure if this is why you talk about raising all cash, but given most deals are trading in the 5% cap rate range, and agency debt is 6.5% while balance sheet debt is closer to 7%, I whole heartedly agree that all cash is the ideal capital structure for many properties today, if your goal is to maximize overall returns for your investors.  

@Cosmo DePinto,I’ve seen investors do great in Huntsville—let me share a few detailsIn short, yes—it’s arguably one of the strongest markets in Alabama for a balance between cash flow and appreciation.

How do you balance being available around the clock with avoiding burnout?

Most hard money will be interest only payments on the full approved balance of the loan whether or not if you have pull the draw funds for repairs.If you have any other questions, post them in the same thread below so that we can all learn from the answers.

4) What's total balance of the current debt?

I know I could put furniture on 0% interest credit cards, but I would need 2+ years to pay it off and I don't want to have to jump through hoops to cycle a balance onto new cards. 

My goal is to help my clients (and myself) make smart, practical decisions that balance cash flow, scalability, and risk which is crucial I know real estata is risky I have raised over 20 million dollars in Business Funding over last 3 years.

The best areas to consider include East Point, West End, Kirkwood, Decatur (outside city limits), and Marietta, each offering a balance of affordability, appreciation, and rental demand.

It can be a bit of a balancing act.

The loan is short term, for 12-24 months and you will be expected to sell, refinance, or pay the balance in full at the end of the term.
