Here’s a breakdown of the main ways investors fund their first deal while minimizing their own cash outlay:1.Private Money & Hard Money Loans– These lenders focus more on the deal than on your personal finances.

Also seems like a lot of MF sells occupied with tenants in place so you just have to comfortable with that and contracting up from and seeing inside after contracting.    1st step is to find a great lender and get pre-approved for a loan so you know what your budget is. 

Personally, I'd cash-out refinance into a 30 or 15 year loan.

Its a tiny loan for any institution.You'll have to get hard bids from a local GC, but maybe $110/ft?

If you lie on a loan, it can be mortgage fraud. 

That is part of the problem with a lot of companies (I am not knocking insula as dont have all the info/facts just stating how the business works), they engage brokers to get them loans and the brokers collect a small fee. unfortunately many of the brokers may be similar to real estate wholesalers - have little to no experience. 

What’s the purpose of the loan and what is the collateral?

Hey @Mike Levene, I'd recommend considering a Margin Loan against your stock portfolio.

A better option if you can swing it is to purchase with your own funds, gain access, then refi into a loan.

Name detection is via loan signatures.
