If you're looking to BRRRR/flip, I do recommend looking into hard money loans.

You reference taking out a HELOC and those are generally provided when the property is in your personal name, which I don't recommend for investment properties.Overall, it sounds as if you're tired of dealing with "long distance" ownership.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

So, with a mix of retail and residential, I'd recommend something in the middle is a good starting point.

I would recommend you use the profile page BP.  

For example, I work closely with a PM down here in Charlotte so I know what they're going to be recommending for updates/work to be done prior to getting a tenant in place.

@Brian Rocha It’s clear why most lenders insist on including rehab funds in the loan, and all of our partner banks follow this practice for fix-and-flip loans to minimize risk and meet securitization standards.

If so (and even if not), I would love any recommendations to a loan officer in the metro Detroit area.Thank you in advance,Aaron RaffaelliAaron,Yes, it should be entirely possible!

TLDR: I do not think Kiavi operates with good business practices.
