I'm thinking a house hack with a V.A. loan so you could slide with that 0% down and allocate funds for repairs. 

Once you have a track record of success, they'll fund you for multiple projects at the same time. 

He's a major hard money lender in town and has a fairly simple process to get quick funding.

nice job I grew up flipping land I love that play still fund land flippers to this day is a niche of lending that I have carved out.. 

Property to purchase would be a STR at $240,000 - so we would need the 20% down payment and we are looking at different options as the source of the funds.

I'd like to share some insights about the process of finding and securing funding for investment properties especially for fix and flip deals.

Given your experience and strong financials, you have some solid options:Commercial or Portfolio Loan: These are tailored for investors and can help you avoid personal guarantees, especially since you have an LLC.BRRRR Loan (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat): Some lenders offer BRRRR-specific loans with funding for purchase and rehab, allowing you to refinance based on the new ARV once stabilized.HELOC or Cash-Out Refi on Current Rentals: Tap into the equity on your single-family rentals to secure funding for the 4-plex purchase and rehab without high origination fees.Each has pros depending on your cash flow goals and timeline.

@Jacob BremerA high ARV rental property can be funded using a HELOC strategy, which can be used for down payment, rehab, or cash.

@Muhammad Kashif to avoid interest related transactions:1) Buy & hold rentals - you make your money back via rental payments.2) Funding flip deals - instead of lending at an interest rate, you could lend for a percentage of the profits on the sale.

If you were to seek a LOC against #3, you would not get much as an investment property its very difficult to get a LOC and they typically will not go above 75-80% LTV which is where you are at.2.
