I have heard it used different ways.I have used a version of gap funding where the hard money lender funds 85% of the flip (purchase + renovation) and the gap funder funds 10% of the deal.

One interesting option is doing a renovation loan to add a unit.

I renovated the home while 3 of my friends lived with me and paid my mortgage.

Hi all,I have a 2 bed/1bath, 900 sq ft home that needs a kitchen renovation.

.- They often get sold Class C or D properties while using Class A assumptions - then wonder why they are losing money.Here's some copy & paste info that you hopefully find helpful:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

since purchasing the property with a 10% down portfolio loan through a local bank, I have done extensive repair work and renovations.

Brian also mentioned, him and Ron were renovating houses on a large scale and had been building a foundation for massive traction in the workforce and affordable housing market in the Mid Atlantic (my friend Brian is an active real estate investor and GSP’s lead project/property manager).

It is already renovated, tenant-occupied (or ready for tenants), and generating income from day one.

I have never seen a quadplex in Los Feliz / Silverlake sell for less than $2.00M.Now I did get a good deal on the house because it needed a lot of work, all in all will probably end up spending $500K between the ADU and the renovations (hopefully).
