Hey Drew,I work in the investment space and work with a bunch of hard money lenders and the typical rates I'm seeing from them are around 11-12% right now with a 1% origination fee.

@Tom Stevensonyes, when I BRRRR I typically use my own cash for the down payment, and a hard money loan for the balance. 

i keep seeing:1. buy out of state rental in a solid neighborhood with long-term potential (just as you are recommending) but then...2. have one rough tenant turn that costs a couple grand, and3. give up on real estate investing, and turn on everyone involved in the transaction for not guaranteeing that sweet cash flow in month 1 I literally just had this conversation with a prospective client when he asked me what a typical outcome looks like.I told him everyone nods and agrees when I drill into them the risks of investing OOS and in Detroit.

But 3) Try multifamily specific brokers, crexi and loopnet, although 2-4 units maybe scarce. 4) A home equity line of credit is a good source of funds however it will generally make your overall monthly payments higher, so unless a deal is very solidly cashflowing, a HELOC may put you into negative cashflow. 7) Typically electric/gas are paid by the tenant - however this isn't true across the board.
