. - 100% financing is the most risky to the lender, as they would have to bet on you giving up the property if you fail.... to recover a failed project with no equity.

I have tried listing it on the mls, no luck since it is an unfinished project.

So they would have NO financial risk at all invested in the project.

Also, Zillow is notoriously inaccurate on their current value estimates so I would put no stock in their appreciation projections.

I would try to get information specific to your property to determine your projected expenses. 

Are you up for: projects-only?

Does anyone have recommendations on a contractor they have used who is able to complete a project financed with a 203k loan?

I have self funded a majority of my 25+ projects, but I am looking to scale up my business and I want to get started slowly and small with my first funding.

A bad relationship with one of these folks can really put a damper on your projects - take control - you are the final decision maker when it comes to spending your money to make money.Never give a deposit up front - pay contractor in stages as work is progressing.

I've recently gotten involved with residential flips and rehabs, and am looking for recommendations for construction project managers based out of Portland.
