Closing in a few weeks or less@Ben Fernandez So, I assume you're buying between $100k-$150k with $50k-$100k in rehab?

The rates are high right now but these loans are limited based on cashflow so you cant take a loan that costs more than you're receiving in rental income.

i fyour getting paid off when the vertical loan goes on.. then your in first position . so not sure what the issue is? 

@Natalie Gelbke-Mattis congrats on the success so far!
