Business lines of credit don't count as funds to close, so you'll need to show and source sufficient funds before they give the go-ahead.

Or you want to spent the time, effort, and money to try and self-source an off market deal here.  

in a stick frame market and one of the cheapest markets to build we build with margin at $190 or so a square foot. that will go up over time about 5% or 10% a year to keep up with new build price increases. we are buidling a 3 story walk up and source some of the lowest priced crews.

Right now, you have to be able to source off market properties or be willing to force cash flow with large down payments. 

While many investors rely on the MLS or wholesalers, these sources can become unreliable as the competition intensifies.

How are you sourcing your leads?
