Also---you need to make sure whoever did the rehab did it correctly (no point in paying a premium price is the work isn't done correctly)...lastly if you pay for a turnkey property...how do you know the tenant is paying a market rent and is a good tenant (credit score wise, payment history wise) etc?

Moving to the most favorable market possible?

How hard is it for a person with high credit score but no income, retired to get a loan?

@Stephen Hood your idea is solid and shows good potential, but here are a few things to consider:Private Lender Terms: Ensure the lender agrees to the 1% origination fee and $2K monthly payments—some may require a higher interest rate or balloon payment at the end.Timeline for Sale: Factor in potential delays with selling your current property or completing renovations on the new one, as these could impact your refinance timeline.Refinance Feasibility: Confirm with lenders that refinancing at $500K is realistic, especially after recent rate increases and appraisal expectations.Exit Plan: Have a backup plan in case the market shifts or repairs take longer than expected, such as extending the private loan or bridging with a HELOC.If you can lock in favorable private loan terms and stay realistic about costs and timelines, this could work well.

U can have zero experience and just need a few bucks and a  good credit score and you can buy a home to live in or a rental.. but not development deals.. different ball game

I have not received favorable terms from the local bank I worked with on the original loans, and they are unwilling to work with the RV Park whatsoever.You may look for cash-out refinancing.

I happened to be the landlord and got a very favorable lease with an arbitrage operator and I'm pretty sure they lost money over the period of them arbitraging with me.

I never run credit so I am curious to know from current lenders that deal with credit daily. 

@Brandon MorganTo buy your second property sooner, consider conventional loans with a 5-20% down payment, house hacking with an ADU, Home Equity Line of Credit, or cash-out refinance.
