I have been part of a regular meetup for a couple years now and it definitely helps ground you in your local market.

And I also think that the inventory in your market plays a large role in deciding what property type makes the most sense.In my market, there is a large abundance of the small multi-family properties, especially the 2-4 unit properties.

I know for example we can fund up to 90% of the purchase and 100% of the rehab when we're funding the purchase and the rehab.

Marie, Please keep in mind that when you see people referencing with these funds it's because they are invested in these funds, bought the sales pitch hook, line and sinker and are being told by the operator, "don't worry about the market, we're experienced and conservative so you'll get all your money back and a tidy profit.

They have one fund called the Ekahi fund which Jessi who commented above is in.

I thought I was buying at top of the market in 2020...and 2022...but prices continue to remain high. 

I have met some private investors that are interested in helping me with the funding of my flip, but I haven't found any properties yet.

I can buy a 2-4 unit with 20% down vs conventional can only buy a 2-4 INVESTMENT property with 25% down 4. there are options where DSCR loans dont repot to personal credit, helps in not having to show a bunch of paperwork or not one person in a partnership has to carry the debt5. way less paperwork to close on this loan type vs a conventional loan. we care about the income of the property you're buying and it's ability to service the debt of the property whether we use long term rents income, lease income, or air dna/bnb income.6. easily buy in partnerships, add people to your operating agreement, its as easy as that so bring partners into a deal. helps with scaling and raising capital or getting partners involved7. gift funds allowed to close on these as well, and like I said earlier, there's only a 10day seasoning period of funds with some lenders so that means you can literally have a private money lender deposit money into your account 11 days before closing, and you can use those funds to close!

When dealing with federal, state, and local NOFA (notice of funds availabilities), do government funds allocated for affordable housing often get depleted from too many developers requesting funds for new projects?

If you are going to do a HELOC then you must understand the cost of using those funds.
