If you got your credit decent you can start soft shopping for conventional/fha home loans if you didnt do so well improving  your credit this is where you start looking for private  lenders, partners and investors.

My borrower is refinancing the loan to hold the property (BRRRR) and I'm wondering if the new lender will have any concerns with this policy. 

If you are skilled in each of the areas above, and you have enough in reserves to cover the costs of when things do not go as planned, then you can likely attract money from private money lenders who want to get a return on their money and they see lending to you as a low risk way of earning a better return than in the other passive investing options they have.

The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.
