It sounds like some lender will allow you to get a 2nd mortgage for that $172K amount and some will not.Does anyone know of any lenders that can work with this?

My best advice is to meet your lenders face-to-face at real estate clubs, conferences, or other professional events.

Quote from @Kerry Noble Jr: Im open to connecting Sounds Great. 

That's good advice.

Hi everyone,
 
I’m planning to syndicate my first real estate deal and would love some guidance.
 
What are the best steps to take when getting started?
 
Are there any key resources, platforms, or strategies you’d re...

But sounds like weeks.  

I’m eager to learn from those with experience and willing to put in the work to gain hands-on knowledge.I’d love to connect with others in the community—whether you’re seasoned investors or fellow beginners like me.Looking forward to any advice or insights you can share.Best regards,

I’m getting re-acquainted with the BP community after purchasing my first house hack in the Pittsburgh area, and would love to make some connections with other like-minded young professionals and investors in the area.And if there’s anyone out there who’s just getting started and looking to make the jump to buy their first property, I’d love to offer up advice, share my network of contractors in the area, and answer any questions that I can from my experience over the last 6 months!

I had the initial call with a PadSplit sales person, but I wanted to talk to somebody who's actually doing it to get their perspective and advice.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting.
