Rich S. How much give to make this deal work?
17 April 2018 | 0 replies
I'm just curious what various lenders would be looking for in compensation and structure of this deal:Purchase Price: $25,000Rehab/Holding/selling costs: $30,000ARV/Sale Price:  $85,00090 days for purchase/rehab/sale**My questions below are coming from the scope of my view that a HML being a formal institution/group with a bunch of standard terms, processes, etc... and a Private Lender being someone with money, willing to loan it short term, without all kind of formalities(if that makes any sense)So in a HML world, 65% of ARV would be right at $55,000... does anyone does this deal without requiring rehabber to have skin in the game?
