I am a newbie in the world of real estate, still learning and gaining as much knowledge as possible, alongside my partner, before we make the first real step into this journey of REI.

They want a quick close with no real hiccups.  

Those initial hiccups?

Then every hiccup is a "crisis". ie, car repair, vet bill, sick kid, and so forth.

I used hard money for the first deal I ever did and it worked out well with a few hiccups along the way due to some inexperience.  

He had hiccups but generally did not get in a position to have to sell assets. 

One of the hiccups of this deal was only just finding out (last week via the tenant) that Unit #3 is moving out tomorrow, so it's listed that at $800/mo and have already gotten a number of promising applicants. 

Hello everyone, I hope all is well during these wild times.So I wanted to start a discussion and see what everyone experiences have; been trying too, failing too, and successfully obtaining Hard Money Lending right now, during the COVID-19 outbreak and stock market hiccup? 

I'm a bit spontaneous, but the main driver was the price point alongside my research of the area. 

.- It's very easy for things to be going great when the markets are on the rise, but what happens when there is a hiccup or downturn?
