Hey Joseph, my understanding is that if you wanted to team up with an accredited investor though an LLC in order to invest, both members of the LLC would have to be accredited.

Local references are invaluable because those lenders have proven themselves in your market.Work with Reputable Companies: Some well-known DSCR lenders with a solid reputation include Lima One Capital, LendingOne, Kiavi, RCN Capital, Visio Lending, and Easy Street Capital.

Look into local tax incentives and financing options, and reach out to local real estate groups or mentors to better understand the market.Good luck!

Once you find this range you should be very close to understanding your buy box. 

-Seller Expectations: Ensure the seller knows and understands what to expect regarding terms and timeline-many sellers are unfamiliar with seller financing.

We understand that but frankly we are extremly reluctant to ablidge.

I understand that starting out, depending on how fast you want to build your portfolio, you could spend a lot of time at it.For those with established investment portfolios, how much time is required to maintain it?

@Brandon Croucier is giving you solid info on finding an experienced and honest mortgage broker who can shop your exact scenario both ways, with the rehab and without and break down the benefits of each with all fees so you can see an apples to apples comparison. 

It's the same skill set but the financial returns and community impact are exponentially greater for everyone.There’s no reason that we can’t and shouldn’t be the ones revitalizing our communities instead of outsiders OR worse nobody at all.There are less opportunities in smaller towns and who is in the best position to truly understand the needs of the community?

@Paige Gardner HM is a great way to get started however understand that it is SHORT TERM FINANCING 6-18 months.
