Always get multiple lenders working for you in the due diligence process!

Lenders usually determine whether properties are lendable based on the debt service coverage ratio. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Talking with a real estate CPA and a good lenders can also give you perspective on your finances and how to reach your goals. 

A HELOC or home equity loan on your personal home could be a viable option to fund the rehab, but it's always a good idea to chat with a lender to explore all your options and find the best fit for your situation.

There's a post right above mine from a lender... there's always a lender offering $$$ even when people can't afford it. 

Begin by targeting distressed properties in gentrifying neighborhoods, securing financing through hard money lenders or private investors, and focusing on cost-effective renovations.

If the insurance isn't done properly, it's on the edge of impossible to cash the check because it's made out to the lender, my company, and the seller(s). 

I have access to a huge community of real estate investors, private money lenders, ect.
