David, Send us a Private Message and we can schedule a call to see if you fit the group. 

The industry continues to see consolidation, with private equity-backed firms actively acquiring, albeit at a slightly slower pace than the frenzy a few years back.

Use of Euro-style wall units for air-con.. 

Another great option is the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat), where you buy a fixer-upper, renovate it, rent it out, and refinance to pull your cash back for the next deal, and this is a good route because most private lenders can go higher LTV than on a rental loan! 

If anyone needs a private lender I recommend Andrew and his company; easy to work with, quick closing, flexible terms.

You can use seller financing, or you can use hard or private money.

Feel free to private message me with any additional questions.

When my business partner and I were still flipping we bought a couple through Auction.com and we always used a private money lender to fund those and our other flips. 

I financed the acquisition of the land with personal and private money.

Older homes may need updated style, but as long as your rough-ins are intact, everything should be fine.
