Most hard money lenders will want to know about your track record - if you have no experience, partnering with someone who has a track record will likely be an easier path to approval (and likely higher leverage) than applying by yourself. 

She's a beast and you'll likely get approved which will give you a revolving source of funds to keep growing Griffin what terms are you seeing on products like this? 

I've had qualified renters move into a rental, add their bum friends or family members, and then disappear, leaving me with bad renters who weren't approved and aren't on the lease.The best practice is to screen every adult, approve them, and add them to the lease. 

So we don't even have an approved inspection much less a lease with this potential tenant.

I also had to get it approved by the city which was pretty easy. 

The last lender I’ve tried to get a pre-approval had a, imo, patronizing response saying,”Although lots of people talk on social media about buying a three or four unit property with only 3.5% down in practice it almost never works.”All lenders who I’ve tried to give a pre-approval for has tried to sway me to switch to a 5% conventional instead.

Your first step is- Get approved for a loan (unless you plan on paying cash). 

@Don Miller Congrats on the permit being approved! 

It's usually the member/borrower's creditworthiness that is the issue and interferes with approval, not the LLC. 

- Will lenders likely make me wait more than 1-6 months from closing on my multi-family, to approving lending for the second home?
