It does require a 650 credit score that may preclude some.I do know of someone from FL who posted last week about an HML that took $700 in upfront fees but never closed his deal.

So I closed two weeks ago on two townhomes that together make up one duplex.

The seller has not accepted the offer yet because they are leaving it on for a week and have an open house. 

Fast forward all those years and I FINALLY purchased my 1st buy and hold last week! 

But we are looking at another possible lease renewal with them...market research says we should be shooting for $950-$1000/ month, but we are still unpacking from our own personal move two weeks ago.

Sold both condos for over asking price in the first week on the market.

There’s usually many phases to construction, so I’ll ask for payment upon completion of each phase such as painting walls, drywall installation etc, or near the end of the week when I need to pay guys, but my work stays ahead of the customer’s payments.

I remember hearing on one of the podcast about buying in cash then getting a mortgage within 2 weeks after close.

Private money, with the goal of refinancing within six months.
