Find a mentor to speed up your real estate investing process.

Diversifying income can speed up capital building but should not overextend.

It’s been a huge help in speeding up my flips.I have little doubt that “Marie T Debnam” will soon turn into “Account Closed.”Two questions, looking at the attached pics: Is this a joke?  

If you find a local realtor and loan officer who specializes in investing in your area, start having conversations to get up to speed on your market.

First, **reliability and speed** are crucial—hard money loans are often used for time-sensitive deals, so you want a lender who can fund quickly.

Rates have now decreased from averages in the mid-7's to now upper-5's, yet the market has not seen a "speed up" -- likely due to the seasonal swing, and the upcoming election. 2025 should see strong property value growth, with increased inventory, but also increased buyer activity with rates expected to continue downward. 

The higher costs are offset by the speed and flexibility of the financing.

I have 3 deals going in Loudoun county VA that national builders are buying our lots and when I was there going through existing developments its was full speed ahead  Toll Brothers on one project probably had 40 up and running some i am sure are presold..

Whether you should use a hard money, broker or private money would depend on your goals & priority (speed, communication, pricing, etc) so highly recommend considering a variety of options!
