So i put in an offer for 10% down conventional loan, $530,000 with 10k back to me for closing costs and it was accepted right away.

I might have a private lender referral that does rural loans in Mid-MO if you're interested. 

I Joined Jeromes Buying land and building homes program back in 2019Heres my opinion on my experience....First and foremost He offers two different programs. a 6 month program and a 12 month program.BOTH PROGRAMS ARE EXACTLY IDENTICAL THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS:You can choose to have the weekly mentoring by Jerome once a week for 6 months or 12 months on a zoom call and you can have access to a private networking group of real estate professionals whether that be (realtors, contractors, brokers, Private/Hard money lenders, loaning institutions, Surveyors, Engineers, Zoning Board members in different municipalities, pretty much anyone you would need to get a project completed) for either 6 months or 12 months.6 month program will run you $5,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $2,300 payment every 2 months totaling $6,90012 month program will run you $9,997 if you decide to pay all at onceor you can make a $3,000 payment every 3 months totaling $12,000I decided to join the one year program and chose the payment option as i figured within 6-8 months i would have my 1st project completed therefor my last two payments would essentially be covered by the return on investment from that project.PROS:The group is really a family oriented space where you meet a vast variety of people from all types of background throughout the country and other countries that are doing business just like you.

Loan interest is deductible based on the use of the loan, not the asset securing the loan. 

Hey Everyone,I have a potential investor I've been working with that is planning to use investors edge for their loan.

After seeing the power of financing and understanding how loans can help make real estate deals like this happen, I knew I wanted to be a part of it professionally.

I can only imagine that they got a bunch of big time investors and business loans to grow this out.

My belief is that you will be challenged to realize a 10% savings loan n your first effort and there is some chance it will cost more than if you used a GC.  

Using the 203k or now the HomeStyle loan you can buy a fixer upper and get all the money to renovate. 

Its a tiny loan for any institution.You'll have to get hard bids from a local GC, but maybe $110/ft?
