I'm under contract for a nice double and was hoping to use part of the money for my portion of the down payment.

With the prevalence of remote work policies, many people opted to leave affordable apartments living near work in and around metros to live an hour or two outside of their work location to get much more space for their money.

There is a lot of information on BP regarding being a private lender and outside groups taht have a lot of support in this space.

I’m a broker based in Charlotte, NC, and I work with Compass to support investors in maximizing their growth strategies.

The question I'm up against is what private money is going for these days for a build with this much room for upside.

And starting to get some money is better than no money right ?

I wouldn't touch Franklinton with a 10' pole on the existing inventory side. gravity 2 is being auctioned and sold by the developer the area didn't support office developer lost millions:https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2024/12/19/gravity...linden I agree on if you can get a good deal. super fast appreciation. small homes, close to downtown, you can look at year over year and it's going up fast but also fast to change. any urban adjacent neighborhood is going to be good. 

Typically, the initial upfront for the rehab is either cash or a high interest loan (hard money or private). 

Lol) to support or debunk my thesis, I came away with several neighborhoods in Ohio that will continue to grow for both appreciation and cash flow in the next 5 years.
