@Kevin Connauton, I agree with you that although Pad Split is a great choice for getting the rooms filled, they don't cover all your bases in terms of property management.

FYI, most of my CFO clients borrow from HMLs that will lend up to 100% of their rehab costs. 

That’s their choice, but here’s the reality: until the escrow is resolved, this home cannot be placed back on the market or shown to new buyers per MLS rules.

If I have to buy a last-minute ticket or spend $1,000 or so for notarized signatures at a consulate, then it has a significant effect on my choices.

Yes there are alternatives for both beige and 30 year loans for no US borrowers.

Hocking, Vinton, and Perry counties would be my first choice when purchasing a property. 

If you are borrowing $150k, rates will not likely drop enough for you to justify a refinance due to lower rates.

Hey Justin,Our borrowers have successfully used all of these wholesalers, but these investors all have one thing in common in that they conduct their own due diligence. 

I think a good starting point would be looking at the comps in your area (recently renovated or new construction homes) that sold around your desired sale price and in your desired timeframe and taking inspiration from there design choices. 

If your business is worth significantly more than what you owe on it, you may be able to borrow against that equity to fund your first deal—rather than walking away from a potentially appreciating asset.Some investors take this route, keeping ownership of their business while using its value to qualify for financing or attract a capital partner.
