It will probably depend on your experience and connections with lenders.

I hope you contacted BP directly about your experience with what sounds like a 🫏 agent.  

Does anyone have experience doing this, and know how to go about it?

Would help if you stated what questions you had so people could reply right away.I have knowledge on HELOANs but not direct experience.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

If anyone has the names of such non-profits and/or anyone with experience doing this as a landlord, I would like to speak with you.Michael King

Also, if a few hundred dollars in draw fees will make your deal go sideways, it may not be the best deal for you, especially as you are just getting started.I'm happy to share my experience as an investor and a mortgage broker.

Not much in our experience/opinion.You mentioned that the seller has Class B and C properties.

It's a good practice to overestimate costs and underestimate after-repair values (ARV) to keep your expectations realistic.

It sounds like you've been through a lot, but the fact that you’re jumping back in with a solid, realistic mindset is huge.
