What was your financing source? 

Hi Chris from the U.P. of Michigan.Congratulations on deciding to get into real estate investing with your first Buy, Rehab, Rent, Re-finance, and Repeat or BRRRR and you are wondering where to start and who you should add to your team first.It is good you have cash or cash equivalents to buy the property and complete the repairs.As far as who to have on your team first, I would say an investor friendly Realtor who can help you find deals and introduce you to the rest of the team like a good property inspector to hopefully let you know about potentially expensive repairs early before buying the property so you can buy it well or not buy it at all.

If you do not have those it will extremely hard to ever sell it to someone who will require bank/lender financing or refinance it down the road if you want to pull out cash on the ARV or future equity.The other rule of thumb is that you buy it New and that it was never on another property or location, simple built onsite or trailered in from warehouse. 

Conventional financing will not loan on unlivable houses. 

I had a friend purchase a Vacation home financed with RBC last year. 

Home 3 I bought in May and the financing fell through 10 days before closing so I bought it on a line of credit.

Purchase price: $28,500 Cash invested: $28,500 Sale price: $80,000 Bought and sold a 3b/1b SFR with Owner Financing.

I know MLS listings aren't guaranteed accurate, but getting the acreage, city and zip code wrong is hard to swallow as an honest mistake.We have a financing contingency, so if it doesn't appraise for the contract amount due to the lower acreage and different city/zip, we can renegotiate purchase price.

I'm now looking at the financing.
