You can then GC the project yourself and let them help be eyes and ears and offer you the speed to get the projects done on time.As for financing, I had great success using a commercial loan product with a small community bank.

Hi DanI know my bank does HELOCs on investment properties.

If the plan is to live in the property, a traditional hard money bridge loan will not work.

Traditionally from what I have seen HELOCs are always interest only and usually variable.

(it is confusing from reading it)I haven't heard of it, but I don't think you can get a loan to become a TIC from a bank.

It felt like a no-brainer for the value of the land, but being able to utilize a traditional mortgage because there was a clean yet simple 3 bed 2 bath house on the lot made the deal even sweeter!

My first attempts to get a loan ended in some pretty humbling experiences (getting laughed out of a couple of banks due to zero credit history).Fast forward to today, and after building up some credit, a stronger W-2, and a solid professional background, I’m finally back in West Palm Beach, Florida, looking to make my first deal happen.

They also will recommend “lenders”, “banks” “closers” “agents” and title company who they 100% are getting cuts from AND EVEN OWN without disclosing that information.

I have some money to invest but just recently started thinking of being the "bank" instead.

People who have money may prefer to seller finance but if someone is retiring they most likely don’t care about a higher sales price they want to avoid the riskYou mention ou have a 100% close rate - then why not just buy it was traditional financing if you really want the deal?
