This property was a foreclosure auction purchase, so minimal information was known.

There’s so much to learn here, and I’m sure you’ll find it incredibly helpful. 

(well you said "negligible".

I'm sure the BP community would love to be continually updated as well on your progress.

While I’m still in the early stages, I’m incredibly motivated to learn, grow, and surround myself with like-minded individuals who can help guide me along the way.What drew me to real estate is that I saw it as the best route for me and family to have financial freedom.

FHA 203(k)The FHA 203(k) is the most widely known renovation loan, but did you know about the Fannie Mae Homestyle Loan?

Sorry to hear that happened Ashley - that's incredibly frustrating.

And private financing can be wise if you are a diligent investor, which it seems like you are:)*If I would have known then what I know now, I would have used my first loan to land the largest deal that I could have. 

In my view they made the correct decision and if you spent significant time recovering this cost, well I think we all know what that is. 

My known options are hard money or private lending and then maybe doing a cash out refi, but rates would be high on both ends and will really cut into my cash flow.
