It's not traditional and it comes with plenty of risks but it's a great way to get into properties with low down payment, as well as lower interest rates than the current market allows for. 

Team,Im having a tough time finding an insurance provider for my medium term rental in Pittsburgh and I'm looking for suggestions.I own the building (triplex) where 2/3 units are traditional long term rentals, and 1x unit is a medium term rental.

This is out of my traditional buy box so any due diligence would be great. 

Without a large down payment, cash flow can be tough to find with a traditional rental right now. 

Hello Brandon Sisco, finding the best lender for a 90% loan-to-value (LTV) mortgage based on bank statements can be challenging, as these loans are often geared towards self-employed borrowers who might not have traditional income documentation. 

Any suggestions whether it's worth it to go with traditional big law attorneys or do something alternative?

Buying a vacation home and thinking it brings in cash flow is a sure way to make the locals rich, as vacation rental communities are extremely seasoned at extracting wealth from visitors, perhaps especially including those who own remotely. 

We were happy because we bought around 40 houses with only about 5% down out of our pocket in the end.They didn't cashflow very well for a few years because we had to get higher leverage to get all of their money back but rents are going up and they're doing better now plus we have a ton of equity that we can repurpose if we so choose.Hello Jordan,So when you refinanced it, was that through a traditional bank? 

A wise investor will not try to get rich quick with shortcuts.

Keep in mind, with hard money the down payment tends to be a bit more than traditional loans.
