I knew that in order to do this, I needed to find a good enough deal that would allow me to refinance all of my money back out after about 6 months.

For a rental property, it looks good enough and I’d recommend others trying it.

Eventually I'd like to get in good enough with the lender that he'll no longer need to review the deals but rather state that I'm in good standing and have access to investment funds.

The wholesellers that actually have good enough deals for everyone to actually make money are few and far between.

If I weren't going to be house hacking and if I didn't know anything about pools I wouldn't even consider it, but the schools and location are good enough for us to stay in it long term, so I'll consider dealing with the pool.

If the property seems like a good enough deal, maybe you could consider putting down the 5% they request and move past their unprofessionalism?

If there is a hiccup in the renovation though, holding costs can balloon quickly so make sure you know what you're getting yourself into and there is plenty of meat on the bone before you do it  the reason hard money even exist's is the banks don't offer this product to all but the most WELL QUALIFIED borrowers if that.so there was a big sucking sound out there in the finance world for fix and flip loans for properties that are not in good enough shape to get government backed loans  save the 203k loan program.. other wise your right this is best done with your personal cash and have no loan on the property that's by far the best way to do this.

Remember, if the deal is good enough, the money will find you.

I don't even ask for first, last and security, I just ask for first and security, but still it's not good enough for these people.  

The only way someone could come in and set up shop in the house is if it’s not being watched over good enough .
