I work with newer investors/borrowers all the time with to goal of becoming full time investors.   

In my experience, these are also referred to as "QM" and "Non-QM" loans ("QM" = Qualifying Mortgage)And as consumer mortgages, these loans are generally issued under the person's name with the underwriting based primarily on the borrower's DTI (Debt to Income) ratio.

Plus new folks do a very poor job of screening the buyer for Ability To Repay (ATR) which involves pulling full doc and calculating the borrowers DTI, honest income, honest debt payments, prior debt payment histor (FICO) etc etc.Plus shockingly (or shocking to sellers) if you bought this investment house, fixed it, then are selling with financing you are selling "inventory" and y9ou owe taxes on the gain in the year of sale, you are NOT able to use installment sale to spread out paying taxes. 

Unless the borrower is self employed and takes a lot of expenses to show lower income on their returns then it usually makes sense to pay a couple thousand a year in higher interest (you can pay like 4,000 a year in additional interest for DSCR if you are saving 30+k on your tax bill kind of math lol)

I borrowed $30k on a personal loan from Discover for 15% with no fees for a plot of land and paid "cash" for it.

Lending as a whole is doing well, but there is definitely more risk in the lending ecosystem right now as borrowers stretch their numbers and get aggressive on margins to keep turning deals.

Most hard money lenders will allow you to borrow up to 75 percent of the current after-repair value after 6 months and most banks 12 months.

If yes, then the other partners can just do a JV agreement internally which you can record at closing that allows you to still “partner” up on it but allowing the lender to still be protected if anything goes wrong with the deal or people borrowing. 

Buy a lot, build a rental propert, to be rented out 2026 for approximate annual income 150k.I understand I can borrow for 1 and (2 or 3), but that would put me under risk i don't want to take.  

For experienced borrowers I can lend up to 80% LTC and 100% of rehab on 5+ unit apartment deals like this.
