Are there any hard money lenders that lend 90%?

Don't get me wrong, you can make good money with STR, but having a property already to your name with some experience of being a landlord will only help - and you will already have a property under your belt.Good luck!

Hey BP Community,My name is Sylvens Bellanton, and I’m the founder of Clearview Management, an investment group specializing in real estate acquisitions.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Jason and good luck investing!

We are a family- owned real estate investment company.

I really trusted my agent and knew several people who had invested in Reno so I took the leap after trying and failing for years to buy my own home in really high cost cities where I lived (NYC, DC, SF Bay area). 

I know most BP note investors deal in SFR notes exclusively, or at least mostly, and for myself 98% of my note investments are notes secured by commercial properties.  

I don't understand why someone would ask if now is a good time to invest in section 8.
