I’ve had experience with both traditional and private construction loans, and here’s my take:Traditional Lenders: The process can be slower with more paperwork and stringent requirements, but they usually offer lower interest rates.

If you get past that, it is a fairly easy process.

Data Analysis: AI can process copious amounts of data, including market trends, property values, neighborhood demographics and economic indicators.

What blew my mind through this process is how people calculate returns.

Well, once I started the process of buying I was quickly introduced to the importance of title insurance.

But is it possible in that process to account for the 100hrs (I thought it was 100hrs or is it 150 hrs?)

@Vernon Welch II most tenants offering to pay their rent upfront are trying to compensate for negative qualification issues.NEVER override your screening process just because someone offers to pay several months upfront!

Our thought process, is that we should purchase a property in the villages or very close by as this is a very good middle ground for the said areas above.

If you plan on buying these properties using a mortgage its also best to begin the pre approval process and work with an investor friendly lender to help guide and educate you what the best product might be for your projects to make sure you dont already max out your borrowing power after the first deal.

I planned to do a piggyback HELOC to have access to quick capital in case a good next deal came along but it has been a long drawn out process and right at closing they decided they needed a new appraisal.
