He wanted me to paypal him 750 so that he would send the 20k needed to bridge the gap in the loan.While Facebook can be great to connect with institutional loan officers, mortgage brokers, etc.., true private money is a little more difficult in my humble opinion.

Because you are forcing equity into the house you are sometimes able to pull back out the entire purchase and rehab process to return to your investor then you own the home with just the mortgage.

If not, they may want to speak to a mortgage broker local here in Florida to help expand their options! 

Not a realtor, not a mortgage broker, not selling any mentorships (my protégés do not pay but are a very limited group).  

This way your tenants essentially pay your mortgage while you're deployed.

I would check with Dennis Kahn at Homestead Mortgage or another popular mortgage broker here, Zach Starnes or there are several other lenders that can re-fi off appraised value much sooner than 1 yr.

.- If interest rates remain high, this is further upward pressure on rents in the near-term, as the alternative to renting - buying a home with a mortgage, is expensive - this should increase demand for rentals. - Rents are also a function of supply - 2024 saw the most new construction of multifamily units in American history (nearly 575,000 estimated 2024 deliveries of new multifamily inventory), and 2025, while not a record setting year, will see deliveries top 500,000 again - a huge supply increase. 

Your tenants cover most or all of your mortgage.

We want to first cancel out the mortgage, move out of the other unit after a year and rinse and repeat.
