Most hard money loans work on a draw system, where you pay for part of the rehab initially, and the lender reimburses you in stages as work is completed.

Did you find yourself in this situation due to circumstances, or did you intentionally stage this situation?

Really excited to learn more and to speak with those (most ideally who live near me with whom I could meet up in person, but definitely not a deal breaker) who are in a similar stage or perhaps just ahead of me, from whom I can learn and feel supported by as I venture into this new world.

Get better pictures, stage the space and make sure it looks and smells great.

I am in the very early stages of looking at a commercial property to invest in.

The bill proposal is in its early stages so I won't pretend to have all the answers, and I agree that subsidized housing initiatives need some work.

This is the stage of the process where your lender can issue your loan docs out to escrow/title/settlement and these folks can schedule your signing for closing.Before it can reach CTC you'll need to make sure all income/assets/credit remain the same so that means no changes to your credit that are bad or adverse, no job or income changes ideally, and hopefully those funds you've set aside to close with are still "there," so we can keep this closing on track.If you had any questions left feel free to fire them off.
