@Susan Tan you may also have lending options in the Houston area that offer 100% LTC financing for rehab projects.

If the PMC isn't hiring, offer to work as an intern. 

The usual way, but not the right way, to try to buy a rental is by finding a property on the MLS, where agents congregate, make an offer and then try to get financing to buy the property.

Why not use the higher end of the estimate and once you are serious about putting in an offer contact your broker then?

You can try to attend virtual events, many real estate meetups and events offer virtual options.

If I create a debt fund that offers 9% interest on first lien notes with a 5-7 year payout, would that be attractive to high net worth investors?

Id keep looking if it was not an approved short sale ( even an approved short sale takes a very very long time and theres no guarantee that you will even close on the house after months of waiting). q1)There are plenty of non traditional lenders that could offer you construction financing if the numbers make sense but it will cost you with points and a higher rate.

A couple of things I like to tell my newbies-Owning a short-term rental property can offer significant financial benefits.

Hey Jeremy, thanks for reaching out and offering to help, I really appreciate it!

I’ve sent the seller a demand letter, but instead of honoring the contract, they offered me money to walk away.
