I'm an asset-based (hard money) lender from Atlanta with an extensive 15-yr background in residential and commercial real estate looking to learn more from the BP community and how I can help those that need investment financing. 

I have observed the older appraisers often have a outdated view of values especially in recently appreciating communities. 

Another work around that isn’t discussed much is working on a strategy with your insurance company to protect your other assets in the event of a claim.But also, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to consider getting the financing into your LLc name with a community bank and pulling cash out if you have substantial equity.Right now, since the loan is in your name, it shows up on your personal credit report.  

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m exploring the idea of renting my 5-bedroom property in Tampa, Florida, to traveling nurses and could really use your advice! 

I am excited to be a part of the BiggerPockets community!

Property Appreciation: For long-term holds, I always compare rent growth with broader market appreciation.

However, before I engage with this company I wanted to ask the BP community if anyone had dealt with them or has any feedback on them.

Welcome to BiggerPockets and the Chicago real estate community!
