As a result, competing against seasoned investors in the multifamily space can be challenging, especially for newcomers or those with less capital to deploy.On the other hand, single-family homes (SFH) are typically the go-to choice for primary homebuyers, who are not always as cash-rich as investors but can still secure financing through conventional loans.

If you’re considering leveraging hard money lending (HML) for this flip, it could be a strong alternative to traditional financing—especially since HML is quicker to secure and designed for investors aiming to flip properties fast.With HML, you’re typically looking at covering a significant portion of both purchase price and rehab costs, which keeps more of your cash free for other expenses or emergencies.

All channels can work.. it’s just that some work more often than others.I’ve got a friend who tried a similar stroy a few years back.. she moved out of her condo and rented it to a family member, using the steady cash flow to secure financing on a duplex that had a ton of upside potential.

If you mean security backed by collateral, you are correct.
