Glad to see some justice.The next round of scams will be people raising money for new deals but then using those new funds to bail out previous deals—be it flippers who can't sell or apartment investors facing refinance rates and decompressing CAP rates.

So you'll be putting out quite a bit of money to do that, and when you sell, you'll most likely have to convert it back.   

You'll find that rental property investing isn't scary at all and a great property manager can actually save you more money than they will cost!

Private Money or Hard Money LendersIf traditional financing is a challenge, a private or hard money lender could fund the construction phase.

Have you checked with an SEC attorney to make sure you know how to legally raise money? 

Don't take out a HELOC Jason, it's not worth the time it takes for the amount of money you need.

If you want to spend the money you can consider triple pane.

Engaging does not make you money.

We hate to call it "hard money".

There are lenders that do not have this requirement of course, but they are mainly hard money lenders or local portfolio style banks.
