A few things I've been contemplating is going with a single family home in a less expensive market (Richmond, Baltimore surrounding areas) for the BRRRR or using that 150k toward a condo in a place like Bethesda, Md where rents and tenant demand is high, and doing everything in BRRRR except the rehab.

Hello, I have been involved with RE for a good while now but was contemplating having a Tax group help out with my taxes.

So I’m just contemplating on making this move or adapt my strategy to out of state rentals in more landlord friendly places, but the numbers might be worth the headaches in California with this build.

Primary: call a property management company and tell them you’re considering purchasing a property that you’ve been contemplating but don’t know fair market rent and you looking into hiring a property management company for it.

Hi Anna,As many have said - it sounds like you're looking for a fix and flip loan to refinance into a DSCR loan.The above applies if you are looking to fund a non owner occupied investment property.For owner occ, you may want to look into freddie/fannie renovation loans - as those are also an option - although, I have no real information on them, except that they exist.Non owner occ/investment property funding has changed a bit in the last few months - Money is no longer cheap, and many hard money companies are contemplating whether or not to shut their doors as many of them have been "margin called" by their banking institutions and are having to come up with significant amounts of money to pay down their credit lines.What does that mean for you, the borrower?

I was contemplating the idea of joining some meetups and getting to know investors in the area.
