Most hard money lenders require 10-20% down payment of the purchase price or total project cost.Holding Costs During Rehab: Yes, you'll need to cover carrying costs, including hard money interest, utilities, taxes, and insurance.

The land is on two tax lots so my plan is to sell the extra lot immediately after closing for a projected $275K.The property on the other lot will be a fix and flip with projected costs of $240K and an ARV of $750K.I plan to use a PML of 2 points and 12% APY for 70% of the total cost.

Obviously I want to keep my costs low but still want to spring for amenities that would give me a competitive edge compared to other rentals.

The successful wholesalers are the ones that are direct with the seller and have done an analysis on the deal to show it can be a successful investment (always double check with your own)totally agree, I would add the don't act sketchy and present their available homes in a consistent/professional manner to buyers. 

So, If I put in $500,000, the total amount of shares rises to $1,500,000 and I own 500,000 shares while my partner still owns $1,000,000. 4) When we sell the property at a profit, the net profit will be distributed based on a percentage of share ownership.

I’m no longer house hacking, and all three units are rented out, generating a total of $8,200/month in rental income.

So I just wanted to present the raw facts, hear everyone's opinions, and obviously gain some knowledge and tips from investors! 

GC in my area cost 10% of the total and I would say that is worth it for what they provide, but if you have the knowledge and willingness to be on the phone with subs (and spend a lot of time on site) you could save that by DIYing it.

We bought it in cash with 9 investors for a total of 970k contributed.
