@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.

I'm feeling most drawn to a buy and hold rental investing strategy and like the idea of the BRRRR strategy in tandem with VA loans, basically refinancing VA loan backed mortgages to conventional loans once there is 20% equity in the home.

I answered a question yesterday by saying "DSCR loans are like belly buttons...everybody's got one."

So the though Hey I have an 800 fico and I should get a loan does not work.

I just re-read and realized you're talking about getting loans for lien position 2, is that correct?

Use tools like the VA loan for house hacking and your Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to cover living costs while building equity.

Acquiring in cash or with a fix and flip loan.

There are services like Blockfi, Unchained Capital, and many others will will give you a short-term loan backed by your crypto assets.

Most min loans amounts are going to be 50-100k, so an issue there.

Cash out should be used as a 12-24 month loan so that you can buy another property and pull cash out at the next 12th or 24th month mark.At that point you take a portion to pay off or down the first loan and use the rest as a down payment on the next REI.
