I work with a turnkey provider in Little Rock, and they are offering a 5.99% on all of their properties, even the new construction.

I can offer both conventional (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac) and government (FHA, VA, USDA) options to help make it happen! 

These markets offer a great mix of affordability, strong rental demand, and steady appreciation.

Include all expenses like property taxes, insurance, maintenance, and property management fees if you’re not managing it yourself.Network Like Crazy: You’ve already made a great first step by joining this group!

An offer was received that I accepted. 

Banks who offer construction financing tend to be 75-80% LTC and alternative/hard money lenders will sometimes offer higher LTC leverage than that.

I wish I had another work around for you, but I actually stopped using my business CC all together just to avoid the PITA "hacks" they offered as solutions. 

i.e. getting outbid on offers, properties become unavailable before you get a chance to see them, etc...You are not alone!

Why can't you offer her assistance while she trains you, so you both make money?

Offering flexibility has allowed my borrowers to swing into deals they would not have been able to do previously.You’ve made a great point about the importance of being easy to work with and fostering strong relationships with lenders.
