There were CO's for another $30,000.

If not, you could get your parents or someone you trust to co sign on the loan.

Allowed these PMCs to keep operating last year when workers couldn't go to their offices.

As well as provide training, mentoring and advice but again with only 1 sale, I can’t say I’m an expert and never been much of a salesman, just a hustler and a hard worker.

Every time I got it, I always ended up having to pay a somewhat expensive copay and the workers they sent out were always worthless and rude because they know that the work will come to them no matter how awful they are.

I recently got into my first deal with a private lender in where he was willing to co-sign a conventional loan with me and fund the rehab of my first house hack for a percentage back. 

If they filed a claim, their insurance co needs to come out and appraise the situation and that may take a bit if the storms were bad. 

This is just part of the 'cost of doing business' with those often very affordable contractor types...they're more commonly not able to manage the funding, but are good workers.

Yes, that's a tough way to start.......all kinds of headaches, and the local municipality getting involved to make sure its in good enough shape to get your CO.

I'm a residential mortgage lender in Englewood, CO and I do some out of state real estate investing.
