That being said, I do know a good credit repair specialist who may be able to help you recover your credit score and then you could go and get a traditional mortgage to replace the hard money loan.

If the PCR shows the property as UI (UnInsurable) then many traditional lenders may turn you down.

However, this probably wouldn’t have worked because with super high franchise fees the perception of potential franchisees would have been that the fee structure was too uncompetitive, and the result would have been that McDonalds would have had slower growth, and their competitors faster growth.Two other positive results of the McDonalds real estate strategy was (1) franchisees are more locked in since McDonalds is also their landlord (2) McDonalds was able to bypass legislation aimed at franchisors being able sell product at high prices to franchisees and (3) McDonalds benefits from the long term appreciation of real estate prices and inflation.

Going straight to a traditional lender for a mortgage may seem simple, but this approach will not always guarantee the best loan terms.

Hey @Chance CovanIf you're exploring options beyond traditional financing and haven't owned a primary residence for at least 12 months, starting with a bridge loan might be your best bet.
