I do feel I have a lot of skills that I could offer that I have built from my current W-2 job.

If you have been building for a while we also offer a 5 year Guided line of Credit through the SBA.

Quote from @John Laseter: Good morning all, Saturday afternoon a gentleman knocked on my door and produced a postcard that I had sent to his house offering to buy it.

Hello Bella, if you need sources of money for your wholesale properties feel free to reach out, we offer wholesale pricing, so you could add an extra 1% to your wholesales by participating on the loans as well.

It serves many benefits for both buyers and sellers and if a law had been passed long ago that all such private transactions were required to be serviced through a thrid party, we would not have as much regulation addressing the issues we have today, specifically, the individual investors under the SAFE Act!

It helps determine if the project will meet the desired profit margins.CoC (Cash on Cash Return): I find this particularly important for fix-and-flip projects, as it measures the actual cash return on the cash you’ve invested, giving a clear picture of short-term profitability.Cap Rate (Capitalization Rate): While more commonly used for rental properties, it’s useful in understanding the potential income from a property relative to its price.IRR (Internal Rate of Return): This is a great metric for longer-term projects or those with varying cash flows, as it takes into account the time value of money.Some investors might overlook metrics like AAR (Average Annual Return) or EM (Equity Multiple) if they’re not as relevant to their specific strategy.

New into the real estate game and looking  specific lenders you know of that does hard money lending based off arv instead of luv , would be spectacular if you can as well pm some you would refer thank you :)
