If you're planning to rehab properties for rental or flipping, a hard money lender might be the right fit.

If it does, but more money down, or forego appreciation and choose a stagnent market that cashflows.

That’s like depositing $300 into a savings account every month.Plus, it’s an investment property, so you can depreciate it to save on taxes.More Than $1,500This isn’t just about making $1,500 in rent—it’s about building long-term wealth.

Now most of my deals are a combination of our business money, bank money, hard money, and private money.  

I also practice as a Realtor because I enjoy it and it is extra income.So as an investor, your options are to get your RE license and have access to a lot of tools and do the research yourself (therefore you're paying with time, energy and a little money) or you work with a great realtor/investor in the specific market you're looking into.

If I wasnt going to be doing this I would just be saving more money and staying for free with my parents.

It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.Happy to connect to discuss further. 

Mistakes I see people make is they plan on living there a short time and over renovate the property where they will never get the money they put into it back. 

For me I think it depends on how much money you have invested into the home and for how long?  

Most people would rather spend or save their money, so someone who is willing to invest it should be compensated appropriately.
