If you are trying to get financing before the rehab you will most likely need private money since the current condition won't allow you to use traditional bank financing.After the rehab, if you qualify & if it appraises, you can attempt to refinance the existing debt.

To give some real world here, a "to-the-stud" reno, that is on par with a complete home build because building code says ALL exposed items and areas MUST be brought to CURRENT code, there is NO "grandfathering" of old code items on anything exposed, and an inspector will catch any attempt to side skirt this.

I attempted briefly to search the Real Estate Professional forum for a thread on this, but to no avail.

If ABC Home Loans stops doing cash out refis, no problem, she or he just sends the file to XYZ Mortgage instead (maybe XYZ Mortgage stopped financing 2-4 unit properties, or something else, instead of stopping the cash outs... each lender is attempting to manage this differently).

However, I have another link for you that's actually one of the better FAQ sources out there on this new law, and is one of the only ones I've found that at least attempts to answer that question.Here's the link: Fast Eviction Service - AB 1482: Questions and AnswersOn page 7 of the document that pops up at this link, you'll find the following question/answer:2.

I have a little background knowledge in REI from a brief attempt at wholesaling properties in Wichita about a year ago. 

My purpose in writing this is to begin to organize my own thoughts and research in attempt to begin for formulate a plan for future acquisitions.

As I am not looking to give out equity, I am trying to work out a way to take on private loans from these individuals in order to finance the next home, a BRRRR.I have a home identified, this would be a long distance BRRRR, my property management company would head up the rehab project using their certified and tested contractors, and I have a great relationship with my lender for when the project is done.I am new to taking on private loans in this regard, especially when it comes to setting terms and interest rates.This would be the first BRRRR project that I attempt, and the home we are looking at would be an almost "BRRRR light" as most of the work is cosmetic.How do I structure a deal for these private loans? 

You can always use hard money lenders, however if its your first attempt, I would partner with someone who is knowledgeable in this area. 

What is the best approach when attempting to enter into the real estate game especially in this economic climate?
