How do I check the credibility of a lender?

I am happy with their asset protection plan, services and cost savings compared to a typical LLC strategy (I am in CA.) 

Lenders will evaluate whether you are able to pay. 

When you present yourself early to an agent, you want to have at least a pre-qual set and a lender so they know you are serious.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

You can learn investing vocabulary there (if you're not familiar already), meet potential partners, and get recommendations from active investors for local brokers, contractors, lenders, etc.

If you would like to hear more about the area and chat with lenders and PM's reach out anytime.

Hoping to get 80% back out.Because you bought with cash most lenders will need you to wait 6 months to preform a cash out refi at your projected ARV.

Is it feasible to obtain a loan or a good old boy agreement where a lender offers 100% financing for both the purchase price and construction costs at hard money rates, secured by a second position on the borrower's other properties?

Hi Tara,The 12 month seasoning is pretty standard as it is not lender specific - it's a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac guideline.
