I’m interested in transactional lending, wholesaling, flippin’, and buy and hold eventually. 

Most hard money loans are personally guaranteed, which means you will take the loan out in your LLC, buy you will qualify with your personal credit. 

I am a real estate investor that just moved to Columbus from Miami looking to buy my second property within the next year.

We are looking to buy a SFH in Palm Springs (or possibly Indio) for STR purpose.

My name is Lane Tucker, and I'm a new Loan Officer based in Fargo, ND.

Find, buy, or create your advantage. 

Assuming the property is appraised at $650,000.00 I am hoping the equity will get my LVT to 75% eliminating the PMI, adding to the potential cash flow when I go to rent and then putting that cash flow + personal savings away to raise capital to buy another piece of property.I realize that in order to buy my next piece of property I will want to put down 20% to avoid PMI and a high mortgage but saving 20% for a piece of property in my area is going to take some time due to the high price ranges $500,000-$700,000.

Make sure you have your buy right criteria, and call them to go on a property tour to tour one of their properties.Especially since deal flow has slowed down, most brokers will look forward to meeting serious investors

And then you will have people lining up with cash in hand wanting to buy your contract .   

There is no fee to attend the meet up group just buy your own drink.
