many mortgage bankers follow specific guidelines in order to sell their notes, like right away.if you decide to use Hard Money - you'll have much more flexibility in terms of being able to put less down, invest in different types of properties and present your investment strategy, rather than just the property itself.what i'm saying here is, if you buy a house and use Wells Fargo - they're not going to be concerned with something like the ARV (after repair value), whereas a HML might loan you money based on that - which grealy enhances your investment options.i know that doesn't make sense right now, but with a little research - you can come to understand the old saying:there's more than one way to skin a cat...being new, just be very cautious what you get yourself involved with.
