Turnkeys USED to be fairly easy for flipping companies to offer at a price that cashflowed for investors.That was when prices were still recovering from the Great Real Estate Crash of 2008-2010.Now, prices in most areas of the country have set new record highs - and prices have increased faster than rents, making it much harder for a Turnkey Flipper to sell at a price an investor can cashflow.The only way it happens now is with Class C properties or new construction with builder-paid Temporary Mortgage Rate Buydowns.Most newbie investors are clueless about the realities of Class C Properties/Tenants, where the promoted returns are rarely actually met:(Several investors that bought new construction turnkey 3+ years ago have had their mortgage rates adjust upward, significantly increasing their payment, but rental rates have NOT kept pace - leading to negative cashflow:(So, PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

That makes a lot of sense having more flexibility and communication is huge, especially for investors who don’t fit the “perfect box.”

I’ve reached out to over 20 lenders — everything from hard money to business credit lines — and most said “no” until my bankruptcy is discharged or four years past discharge.I’m not looking for personal loans or unsecured business cards — just realistic options for property acquisition or rehab loans where lenders focus on income, deal strength, or collateral value, not just credit history.If you’ve worked with any smaller or more flexible private lenders — even newer companies or individual investors — I’d really appreciate if you could share:Who they are (or at least what type of lender they are)What their approval terms were like (credit requirements, bankruptcy flexibility, etc.)What worked best when approaching them (structure, pitch, documentation, etc.)I know a lot of people in this community have rebuilt after tough seasons — any guidance or names would mean a lot.Thanks in advance for your insight and for helping someone who’s rebuilding the right way.
