If you’re considering leveraging hard money lending (HML) for this flip, it could be a strong alternative to traditional financing—especially since HML is quicker to secure and designed for investors aiming to flip properties fast.With HML, you’re typically looking at covering a significant portion of both purchase price and rehab costs, which keeps more of your cash free for other expenses or emergencies.

Selling to you could begin to feel like an appealing alternative to dealing with the hassle of re-renting the home.If they’re open to selling, you can share what you’d be willing to pay based on your research and pre-approval.

The only approach I’ve found effective is offering a deposit alternative, which lowers upfront costs for tenants without devaluing your property.

Alternatively, we can get a 15 year fixed at 5.25% with $8,800 closing costs.

But Incase they deny it or find other excuse to stall what would be alternatives?

Putting people in a position where they would need to sell or come up with an alternative strategy to pay off the mortgage balance prior to rebuilding. 

In all the above listed alternative investments, there is seldom any discount pricing and you give up control.

If you're subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), these deductions may be limited.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Ryan KohenIt’s gotten some pretty bad reviews here on BPDo you like it or have an alternative ? 

Banks who offer construction financing tend to be 75-80% LTC and alternative/hard money lenders will sometimes offer higher LTC leverage than that.
