During this 24-month period, the property must be rented to another person at a fair market rental value.After the 24 month period your sibling could convert it into a primary residence.

You'll never get the confidence to invest from another person or guru.

I've done this personally and have helped a bunch of other investors do the same.

How we purchased our property: Combination of Savings, Personal Loan with interest from a family member (4% interest) and a cash loan from Wells at about 8%.

For me personally, it was worth making the switch because of how much money I stood to save and the flexibility to run things the way I saw best fit.

@William Taylor so many options...Use your RE knowledge to: WholesaleFind rental deals to sell to investors locally or here on BPStart leveraging your personal contacts to build your sales businessFind a motivated seller willing to do seller financing:- Move in worst room or basement, rent out all the other rooms for max cashflow- You could even live in the basement and STR the rest of the house

I would be happy to discuss structure and feasibility as well as insight into my personal finances/personal stake into a deal with serious lenders/prospects.Even if you are reading this post and are not a lender but have valuable insight or experience with flips in Charlotte's market, please don't hesitate reaching out.

Personally, remitting myself makes sure I dive deep on numbers.

I am days/weeks away from trying it at my personal residence.  3500 sqft but only two people using it, so not sure how good of a test it will be. 

Did you have to jump through so many hoops and provide this level of personal information?
