The most popular way to speed up your real estate growth is to buy fixer-uppers, rehab them with mostly sweat equity, rent them out for significantly more than 1% of your total purchase price per month, and then refinance the property to extract as much money as possible for your next down payment.It’s doable, but you need to find the worst property on the nicest block, as this will play a significant role in your refinance discussions later.Let me know if you would like to chat more and learn about the Toledo market, which is well-suited for what you are looking to do.Best regards,Phillip DakhnovetsGuardian Property Management419-740-0370

Hi Katie, regarding your reply to Brandon, if any of your wholesalers need help with their EMD, I can help by funding that earnest money. 

Yes, you have more than one option: You could definitely look for private money, but if you are planning on keeping it as a STR, you might want to make them your partners in the deal.

Always follow the money trail...... 

You would likely need another loan (DSCR, commercial, hard money, portfolio etc.)https://www.bankrate.com/real-estate/commercial-real-estate-...I hope this info helps!

I think the challenge is that local meetups tend to be held in restaurants that cost money and they don't attend.

Take the highest rate and keep as much money in pocket as you can, even if you only breakeven when you refinance in the future (6 months) you can get your payments down, potentially roll in any costs, and skip a payment or two. 

But it got me thinking.My Father's house flooded while I was trying to rehab him in Austin, and then his house got hit by edge of tornado, so there is a little over $50K in Insurance money.

How does one actually raise money from individuals with such high limits of accreditation if you don't personally know wealthy people or real estate investors? 

Have you ever heard of hard money loans?
