Quote from @Frank Pyle: My client recently purchased a home with a hard money loan and have successfully rehabbed it for use as an Airbnb rental.

Rob Abasolo, the cohost of BP is actually one of our clients.

Any recommendations for hard money lenders?

There are actually quite a few Americans investing in real estate in Japan, but more I think that invest only in the US.  

Cleaning up our work area, I remembered what my old co-worker once told me on the construction site "There are 3 ways a job gets done: One way in our head, another way planned out, and how the job actually goes." 

I actually met my Houston realtor through BiggerPockets, and he highly recommended the area.

Here’s why:Putting aside the actual physical danger of living in a fire prone area.

If it is a high-end project, I would spend on an actual lIcensed designer.

Manage the entire P&L for your clients as if it's your own money.4.

If you find an actual property that looks like a homerun and would warrant a HELOC, then you can go for it without reservation.
